NAME¶
vtysh - a integrated shell for Quagga routing software
SYNOPSIS¶
vtysh [
-b ]
vtysh [
-E ] [
-d daemon ] ] [
-c
command ]
DESCRIPTION¶
vtysh is a integrated shell for
Quagga routing engine.
OPTIONS¶
Options available for the
vtysh command:
- -b, --boot
- Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if
integrated config file is in use (not default in Quagga). See Info file
Quagga for more info.
- -c, --command command
- Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves
like -c option in any other shell - command is executed and
vtysh exits.
It's useful for gathering info from Quagga routing software or reconfiguring
daemons from inside shell scripts, etc. Note that multiple commands may be
executed by using more than one -c option and/or embedding linefeed
characters inside the command string.
- -d, --daemon daemon_name
- Specify which daemon to connect to. By default,
vtysh attempts to connect to all Quagga daemons running on the
system. With this flag, one can specify a single daemon to connect to
instead. For example, specifying '-d ospfd' will connect only to ospfd.
This can be particularly useful inside scripts with -c where the command
is targeted for a single daemon.
- -e, --execute command
- Alias for -c. It's here only for compatibility with Zebra
routing software and older Quagga versions. This will be removed in
future.
- -E, --echo
- When the -c option is being used, this flag will cause the
standard vtysh prompt and command to be echoed prior to displaying
the results. This is particularly useful to separate the results when
executing multiple commands.
- -h, --help
- Display a usage message on standard output and exit.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
- VTYSH_PAGER
- This should be the name of the pager to use. Default is
more.
FILES¶
- /usr/local/etc/vtysh.conf
- The default location of the vtysh config file.
- /usr/local/etc/Quagga.conf
- The default location of the integrated Quagga routing
engine config file if integrated config file is in use (not default).
