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.
