NAME
     ospfd - an OSPFv2 routing engine for use with Quagga routing
     software.

SYNOPSIS
     ospfd [ -dhlv ] [ -f config-file ] [  -i  pid-file  ]  [  -P
     port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

DESCRIPTION
     ospfd is a routing component  that  works  with  the  Quagga
     routing engine.

OPTIONS
     Options available for the ospfd 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/ospfd.conf.

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

     -h, --help
          A brief message.

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

     -l, --logmode
          Turn verbose logging on.

     -P, --vtyport port-number
          Specify the port that the ospfd  VTY  will  listen  on.
          This defaults to 2604, as specified in /etc/services.

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

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

     -a, --apiserver
          Enable OSPF apiserver. Default is disabled.

     $(PWD)/ospfd.log
          If the ospfd process is config'd to output  logs  to  a

     Quagga.

DIAGNOSTICS
     The ospfd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a
     log  file,  or through syslog to the system logs. ospfd sup-
     ports many debugging options, see  the  Info  file,  or  the
     source for details.
