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.
