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.

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