OPTIONS

18       Options available for the bgpd command:
19
20       -d, --daemon
21              Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.
22
23       -f, --config-file config-file
24              Specifies  the  config file to use for startup. If not specified
25              this option will likely default to /usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf.
26
27       -g, --group group
28              Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

30       -h, --help
31              A brief message.
32
33       -i, --pid_file pid-file
34              When bgpd starts its process identifier is written to  pid-file.
35              The  init  system uses the recorded PID to stop or restart bgpd.
36              The likely default is /var/run/bgpd.pid.
37
38       -p, --bgp_port bgp-port-number
39              Set the port that bgpd will listen to for bgp data.
40
41       -P, --vty_port port-number
42              Specify the port that the bgpd VTY will listen on. This defaults
43              to 2605, as specified in /etc/services.
44
45       -A, --vty_addr vty-address
46              Specify the address that the bgpd VTY will listen on. Default is
47              all interfaces.
