NAME
bgpd - a BGPv4, BGPv4+, BGPv4- routing engine for use with Zebra

SYNOPSIS
bgpd [ -dhpPv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -p bgp-port-number ] [ --bgp_port=port-number ] [ -P vty-port-number ]

DESCRIPTION
bgpd is a routing component that works with the zebra routing engine.

OPTIONS

-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.

-h, --help
    A brief message.

-i, --pid_file pid-file
    When bgpd starts its process idenifier 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=port
    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.

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

-v, --version
    Print the version and exit.
