NAME

       vtysh - a integrated shell for Quagga routing software

SYNOPSIS

       vtysh [ -b ]
       vtysh [ -E ] [ -d daemon ] ] [ -c command ]

DESCRIPTION

       vtysh is a integrated shell for Quagga routing engine.

OPTIONS

       Options available for the vtysh command:

       -b, --boot
              Execute  boot  startup configuration. It makes sense only if integrated config file is in use (not
              default in Quagga). See Info file Quagga for more info.

       -c, --command command
              Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like -c option in any  other  shell  -
              command is executed and vtysh exits.

              It's  useful  for gathering info from Quagga routing software or reconfiguring daemons from inside
              shell scripts, etc.  Note that multiple commands may be executed by using more than one -c  option
              and/or embedding linefeed characters inside the command string.

       -d, --daemon daemon_name
              Specify  which  daemon to connect to.  By default, vtysh attempts to connect to all Quagga daemons
              running on the system.  With this flag, one can specify a single daemon  to  connect  to  instead.
              For  example,  specifying  '-d ospfd' will connect only to ospfd.  This can be particularly useful
              inside scripts with -c where the command is targeted for a single daemon.

       -e, --execute command
              Alias for -c. It's here only for compatibility  with  Zebra  routing  software  and  older  Quagga
              versions. This will be removed in future.

       -E, --echo
              When the -c option is being used, this flag will cause the standard vtysh prompt and command to be
              echoed prior to displaying the results.  This is particularly useful to separate the results  when
              executing multiple commands.

       -h, --help
              Display a usage message on standard output and exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       VTYSH_PAGER
              This should be the name of the pager to use. Default is more.

FILES

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

       /usr/local/etc/Quagga.conf
              The default location of the integrated Quagga routing engine config file if integrated config file
              is in use (not default).

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