NAME

   ripd - a RIP routing engine for use with Quagga routing software.

SYNOPSIS

   ripd  [ -dhrv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -P port-number ] [
   -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION

   ripd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine.

OPTIONS

   Options available for the ripd command:

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/ripd.conf.

   -g, --group group
          Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

   -h, --help
          A brief message.

   -i, --pid_file pid-file
          When  ripd starts its process identifier is written to pid-file.
          The init system uses the recorded PID to stop or  restart  ripd.
          The likely default is /var/run/ripd.pid.

   -P, --vty_port port-number
          Specify the port that the ripd VTY will listen on. This defaults
          to 2602, as specified in /etc/services.

   -A, --vty_addr vty-address
          Specify the address that the ripd 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 ripd.

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

FILES

   /usr/local/sbin/ripd
          The default location of the ripd binary.

   /usr/local/etc/ripd.conf
          The default location of the ripd config file.

   $(PWD)/ripd.log
          If  the  ripd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then
          you will find this file in the directory where you started ripd.

WARNING

   This man page is intended to be a  quick  reference  for  command  line
   options. The definitive document is the Info file Quagga.

DIAGNOSTICS

   The  ripd  process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file,
   or through syslog to the system  logs.  ripd  supports  many  debugging
   options, see the Info file, or the source for details.
