OPTIONS¶
Options available for the
bgpd command:
- -d, --daemon
- Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

- Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.
- -h, --help
- A brief message.
- -i, --pid_file pid-file

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 address that the bgpd VTY will listen on.
Default is all interfaces.

bgpd.
