Initialisation¶
Before running Routinator for the first time, you must prepare its working
environment. You do this using the init
command. This will prepare
both the directory for the local RPKI cache, as well as the Trust Anchor Locator
(TAL) directory.
By default, both directories will be located under $HOME/.rpki-cache
, but
you can change their locations via the command line options
--repository-dir
and --tal-dir
.
TALs provide hints for the trust anchor certificates to be used both to discover
and validate all RPKI content. The five TALs — one for each Regional Internet
Registry (RIR) — are bundled with Routinator and installed by the init
command.
警告
Using the TAL from ARIN, the RIR for the United States, Canada as
well as many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands, requires you to
read and accept their Relying Party Agreement before you can
use it. Running the init
command will provide you with
instructions.
routinator init
Before we can install the ARIN TAL, you must have read
and agree to the ARIN Relying Party Agreement (RPA).
It is available at
https://www.arin.net/resources/manage/rpki/rpa.pdf
If you agree to the RPA, please run the command
again with the --accept-arin-rpa option.
Running the init
command with the --accept-arin-rpa
option
will create the TAL directory and copy the five Trust Anchor Locator files into
it.
routinator init --accept-arin-rpa
If you decide you cannot agree to the ARIN RPA terms, the
--decline-arin-rpa
option will install all TALs except the one for
ARIN. If, at a later point, you wish to use the ARIN TAL anyway, you can add it
to your current installation using the --force
option, to force the
installation of all TALs.
Performing a Test Run¶
To see if Routinator has been initialised correctly and your firewall allows the
required connections, it is recommended to perform an initial test run. You can
do this by having Routinator print a validated ROA payload (VRP) list with the
vrps
sub-command, and using -v
to increase the log level to
INFO
to see if Routinator establishes rsync and RRDP connections as expected.
routinator -v vrps
Now, you can see how Routinator connects to the RPKI trust anchors, downloads the the contents of the repositories to your machine, validates it and produces a list of validated ROA payloads in the default CSV format to standard output. From a cold start, this process will take a couple of minutes.
routinator -v vrps
