NAME

     bgpctl — control the Border Gateway Protocol daemon

SYNOPSIS

     bgpctl [-jnV] [-s socket] command [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION

     The bgpctl program controls the bgpd(8) daemon.  Commands may be abbreviated to the minimum
     unambiguous prefix; for example, s su for show summary.

     The options are as follows:

     -j      Create output as JSON object.

     -n      Show neighbors' IP addresses instead of their description.

     -s socket
             Use socket to communicate with bgpd(8) instead of the default
             /run/openbgpd/bgpd.sock.<rdomain> where <rdomain> is the routing domain bgpctl is
             running in.  To administer bgpd(8) in a different routing domain, run bgpctl in said
             routing domain.

     -V      Show the version and exit.

     The commands are as follows:

     fib [table number] couple
             Insert the learned routes into the specified Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the
             kernel routing table.

     fib [table number] decouple
             Remove the learned routes from the specified Forwarding Information Base a.k.a. the
             kernel routing table.

     log brief
             Disable verbose debug logging.

     log verbose
             Enable verbose debug logging.

     neighbor peer clear [reason]
             Stop and restart the BGP session to the specified neighbor.  If a reason is
             provided, the reason is sent as Administrative Shutdown Communication to the
             neighbor.  peer may be the neighbor's address, description or the word group
             followed by a group description.

     neighbor peer destroy
             Destroy a previously cloned peer.  The peer must be down before calling this
             function.  peer may be the neighbor's address, description or the word group
             followed by a group description.

     neighbor peer down [reason]
             Take the BGP session to the specified neighbor down.  If a reason is provided, the
             reason is sent as Administrative Shutdown Communication to the neighbor.  peer may
             be the neighbor's address, description or the word group followed by a group
             description.

     neighbor peer refresh
             Request the neighbor to re-send all routes.  Note that the neighbor is not obliged
             to re-send all routes, or any routes at all, even if it announced the route refresh
             capability.  peer may be the neighbor's address, description or the word group
             followed by a group description.

     neighbor peer up
             Bring the BGP session to the specified neighbor up.  peer may be the neighbor's
             address, description or the word group followed by a group description.

     network add prefix [arguments]
             Add the specified prefix to the list of announced networks.  It is possible to set
             various path attributes with additional arguments.  Adding a prefix will replace an
             existing equal prefix, including prefixes loaded from the configuration.

     network bulk [arguments] [add]
             Bulk add specified prefixes to the list of announced networks.  Prefixes should be
             sent via stdin.  It is possible to set various path attributes with additional
             arguments.  If neither add or delete is given, add is the default.

     network bulk delete
             Bulk remove the specified prefixes from the list of announced networks.  Prefixes
             should be sent via stdin.

     network delete prefix
             Remove the specified prefix from the list of announced networks.

     network flush
             Remove all dynamically (i.e. with bgpctl network add) added prefixes from the list
             of announced networks.

     network mrt file file filter
             Import networks from an MRT table dump for debugging purposes.  filter can be
             specified similarly to the show mrt command.  Only networks matching the filter will
             be imported.

     network show family
             Show all announced networks.  family, if given, limits the output to the given
             address family.  The supported families are inet and inet6.

     reload [reason]
             Reload the configuration file.  Changes to the following neighbor options in
             bgpd.conf(5) only take effect when the session is reset: ipsec and tcp md5sig.

     show fib filter
             Show routes from bgpd(8)'s view of the Forwarding Information Base.  filter can be
             an IP address, in which case the route to this address is shown, or a flag:

             connected     Show only connected routes.
             static        Show only static routes.
             bgp           Show only routes originating from bgpd(8) itself.

             inet          Show only IPv4 routes.
             inet6         Show only IPv6 routes.
             table number  Show the routing table with ID number instead of the default routing
                           table with ID 0.

     show interfaces
             Show the interface states.

     show mrt [options] filter
             Show routes from an MRT table dump file.  filter can be an IP address, a CIDR
             prefix, an AS filter, a combination or nothing:

             address                 Show best matching route for address.
             address/len             Show RIB entry for this CIDR prefix.

             address/len or-shorter  Show all entries covering and including the specified
                                     prefix.
             as as                   Show all entries with as anywhere in the AS path.
             empty-as                Show all entries that are internal routes with no AS's in
                                     the AS path.
             neighbor ip             Show only entries from the specified peer.
             peer-as as              Show all entries with as as leftmost AS.
             source-as as            Show all entries with as as rightmost AS.
             transit-as as           Show all entries with as anywhere but rightmost.

             Additionally, the following options are defined:

             detail     Show more detailed output for matching routes.
             family     Limit the output to the given address family.
             file name  Read the MRT dump from file name instead of using stdin.
             peers      Print the neighbor table of MRT TABLE_DUMP_V2 dumps.  Using this on other
