.SH DESCRIPTION
.B bgpd 
is a routing component that works with the 
.B zebra
routing engine.


.SH OPTIONS

.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-daemon\fR
Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

.TP
\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-config-file \fR\fIconfig-file\fR 
Specifies the config file to use for startup. If not specified this
option will likely default to \fB\fI/usr/local/etc/bgpd.conf\fR.

.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
A brief message.

.TP
\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-pid_file \fR\fIpid-file\fR
When bgpd starts its process idenifier is written to
\fB\fIpid-file\fR.  The init system uses the recorded PID to stop or
restart bgpd.  The likely default is \fB\fI/var/run/bgpd.pid\fR.

.TP
\fB\-p\fR, \fB\-\-bgp_port=\fR\fIport\fR
Set the port that bgpd will listen to for bgp data.  

.TP
\fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-vty_port \fR\fIport-number\fR 
Specify the port that the bgpd VTY will listen on. This defaults to
2605, as specified in \fI/etc/services\fR.

.TP
\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-retain\fR 
When the program terminates, retain routes added by \fBbgpd\fR.
