NAME

       bgpd - a BGPv4, BGPv4+, BGPv4- routing engine for use with Quagga routing software

SYNOPSIS

       bgpd [ -dhrSv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -p bgp-port-number ] [ -P port-number
       ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION

       bgpd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine.

OPTIONS

       Options available for the bgpd command:

       -d, --daemon
              Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

       -f, --config-file config-file
              Specifies the config file to use for startup. If not  specified  this  option  will
              likely default to /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf.

       -g, --group group
              Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

       -h, --help
              A brief message.

       -i, --pid_file pid-file
              When  bgpd  starts  its process identifier is written to pid-file.  The init system
              uses  the  recorded  PID  to  stop  or  restart  bgpd.   The  likely   default   is
              /var/run/bgpd.pid.

       -p, --bgp_port bgp-port-number
              Set the port that bgpd will listen to for bgp data.

       -P, --vty_port port-number
              Specify  the  port  that  the  bgpd  VTY  will listen on. This defaults to 2605, as
              specified in /etc/services.

       -A, --vty_addr vty-address
              Specify the address that the bgpd VTY will listen on. Default is all interfaces.

       -u, --user user
              Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.

       -r, --retain
              When the program terminates, retain routes added by bgpd.

       -S, --skip_runas
              Skip setting the process effective user and group.

       -v, --version
              Print the version and exit.

FILES

       /usr/local/sbin/bgpd
              The default location of the bgpd binary.

       /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf
              The default location of the bgpd config file.

       $(PWD)/bgpd.log
              If the bgpd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then you will  find  this
              file in the directory where you started bgpd.

WARNING

       This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options. The definitive
       document is the Info file Quagga.

DIAGNOSTICS

       The bgpd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or through syslog to
       the  system  logs.  bgpd supports many debugging options, see the Info file, or the source
       for details.
