NAME

       bgpd - BGP routing daemon for IPv6

SYNOPSIS

       config_file] trace_options] [trace_file]

DESCRIPTION

       is a routing daemon that works with Route Administration Manager (RAMD) for IPv6.  This routing daemon is an implementation of Border Gate-
       way Protocol (BGP) for IPv6.  is invoked automatically if it is enabled in the configuration file.

       BGP exchanges information across the Autonomous System (AS) and uses the path-vector algorithm to select the best path.	It conforms to and

       This release supports only IPv6 route exchange.

   Options
       supports the  following command-line options:

       Parses the configuration file for syntax errors
			 and terminates exits with status 0 if the configuration file contains no error.  In case of any error, exits with a  non-
			 zero value.  prints the configuration file errors, if any, to the standard output.

			 and perform the same function.

       Specifies an alternate configuration file to be used by
			 By default, uses the configuration file.

       Specifies that	 runs as a normal process and not as a daemon.

       Specifies that	 does not modify the kernel forwarding table.  That is, must not send route updates to

       Suppresses	 messages of Using this option, informational messages that are printed to the standard output can be suppressed and error
			 messages can be logged using syslogd(1M).  By default, logs the syslog errors to

       Specifies a comma-separated list of trace options that must be enabled
			 during startup of No space is allowed between this option and its arguments.  See ramd.conf(4) for information  on  valid
			 trace options and tracing.

       trace_file	 Name  of  the	file  used by to log tracing information.  If trace options are specified without specifying a trace file,
			 uses the default trace file

   Signal Processing
       The following signals can be used to control

       Specifies    to reread the configuration file.  reads the configuration file and reconfigures its policies.

       Specifies that the current state of
		    is written to

       Graceful shutdown.
		    On receipt of attempts a graceful shutdown.  All protocol routes are removed from the kernel's routing table on receipt of

       Toggle tracing.
		    If the tracing is currently enabled, this signal suspends tracing and closes trace file.  If tracing  is  currently  disabled,
		    the trace file will be reopened and tracing initiated.  This is used to move trace files.

		    It is not possible to use if tracing is not enabled in the configuration file.
