DESCRIPTION¶

pimd is a protocol-independent multicast component that works with the Quagga Routing Suite.

OPTIONS¶

Options available for the pimd command:

-d, --daemon

Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

-h, --help

-i, --pid_file pid-file

-z, --socket path

Specify the socket path for contacting the zebra daemon. The likely default is /var/run/zserv.api.

-P, --vty_port port-number

Specify the port that the pimd VTY will listen on. This defaults to 2611, as specified in /etc/services.

-A, --vty_addr vty-address
