NAME

   bgpd  -  a  BGPv4,  BGPv4+,  BGPv4-  routing engine for use with Quagga
   routing software

SYNOPSIS

   bgpd [ -dhrSv ] [ -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 identifier 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 interfaces.

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

   -r, --retain
          When the program terminates, retain routes added by bgpd.

   -S, --skip_runas
          Skip setting the process effective user and group.

   -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.
