NAME

       ospfd - an OSPFv2 routing engine for use with Quagga routing software.

SYNOPSIS

       ospfd [ -dhlv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -P port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g
       group ]

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       Options available for the ospfd 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/ospfd.conf.

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

       -h, --help
              A brief message.

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

       -P, --vty_port port-number
              Specify  the  port  that  the  ospfd  VTY  will  listen on. This defaults to 2604, as specified in
              /etc/services.

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

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

       -a, --apiserver
              Enable OSPF apiserver. Default is disabled.

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

FILES

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

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

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

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