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 ] [  --no_kernel
     ]

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.

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.
