NAME

       babeld - a BABEL ad-hoc network routing engine for use with Quagga routing software.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

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

OPTIONS

       Options available for the babeld command:

OPTIONS

       -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/babeld.conf.

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

       -h, --help
              A brief message.

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

       -P, --vty_port port-number
              Specify the port that the babeld VTY will listen on.  This  defaults  to  2602,  as  specified  in
              /etc/services.

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

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

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

FILES

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

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

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

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