SYNOPSIS

      bgpd  [ -dhrv ] [ -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 idenifier 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 intrefaces.
 
      -u, --user user
             Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.
 
      -r, --retain
             When the program terminates, retain routes added by bgpd.
 
      -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.
