vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]
DESCRIPTION¶
ripngd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing
engine.
OPTIONS¶
Options available for the ripngd 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/ripngd.conf.
- -g, --group group
- Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.
- -h, --help
- A brief message.
- -i, --pid_file pid-file
- When ripngd starts its process identifier is written to
pid-file. The init system uses the recorded PID to stop or
restart ripngd. The likely default is
/var/run/ripngd.pid.
- -P, --vty_port port-number
- Specify the port that the ripngd VTY will listen on. This defaults to
2603, as specified in /etc/services.
- -A, --vty_addr vty-address
- Specify the address that the ripngd 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

- The default location of the ripngd binary.
- /usr/local/etc/ripngd.conf
- The default location of the ripngd config file.
- $(PWD)/ripngd.log
- If the ripngd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then
you will find this file in the directory where you started
ripngd.
WARNING¶
This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options. The
definitive document is the Info file Quagga.
DIAGNOSTICS¶
The ripngd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or
through syslog to the system logs. ripngd supports many debugging
options, see the Info file, or the source for details.
