OSPFD(8)

NAME
ospfd - an OSPFv2 routing engine for use with Quagga routing software.

SYNOPSIS
ospfd [ -dhlv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -P port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION
ospfd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine.

OPTIONS
Options available for the ospfd command:

-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/ospfd.conf.

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

-h, --help
    A brief message.

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

-l, --log_mode
    Turn verbose logging on.

-P, --vty_port port-number
    Specify the port that the ospfd VTY will listen on. This defaults to 2604, as specified in /etc/services.

-A, --vty_addr vty-address
    Specify the address that the ospfd VTY will listen on. Default is all interfaces.

-u, --user user
    Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.

-a, --apiserver
    Enable OSPF apiserver. Default is disabled.

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

FILES

/usr/local/sbin/ospfd

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