NAME
     bgpd  -  a BGPv4, BGPv4+, BGPv4- routing engine for use with
     Quagga routing software


SYNOPSIS
     bgpd [ -dhrv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -p  bgp-
     port-number  ]  [  -P  port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u
     user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION
     bgpd is a routing component that works with the Quagga rout-
     ing engine.

OPTIONS
     Options available for the bgpd 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/bgpd.conf.

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

     -h, --help
          A brief message.

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

     -p, --bgp_port bgp-port-number
          Set the port that bgpd will listen to for bgp data.

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

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

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

     -r, --retain
