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.

       --no_kernel
	      Prevents route updates to	be submitted to	the kernel.

	      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
