bgpd(1M)bgpd(1M)NAMEbgpd - BGP routing daemon for IPv6
SYNOPSIS
config_file] trace_options] [trace_file]
DESCRIPTION
is a routing daemon that works with Route Administration Manager (RAMD)
for IPv6. This routing daemon is an implementation of Border Gateway
Protocol (BGP) for IPv6. is invoked automatically if it is enabled in
the configuration file.
BGP exchanges information across the Autonomous System (AS) and uses
the path-vector algorithm to select the best path. It conforms to and
This release supports only IPv6 route exchange.
Options
supports the following command-line options:
Parses the configuration file for syntax errors
and terminates exits with status 0 if the configura‐
tion file contains no error. In case of any error,
exits with a non-zero value. prints the configura‐
tion file errors, if any, to the standard output.
and perform the same function.
Specifies an alternate configuration file to be used by
By default, uses the configuration file.
Specifies that runs as a normal process and not as a daemon.
Specifies that does not modify the kernel forwarding table. That
is, must not send route updates to
Suppresses messages of Using this option, informational messages
that are printed to the standard output can be sup‐
pressed and error messages can be logged using sys‐
logd(1M). By default, logs the syslog errors to

option and its arguments. See ramd.conf(4) for
information on valid trace options and tracing.
trace_file Name of the file used by to log tracing information.
If trace options are specified without specifying a
trace file, uses the default trace file
Signal Processing
The following signals can be used to control

Toggle tracing.
If the tracing is currently enabled, this signal suspends
tracing and closes trace file. If tracing is currently
disabled, the trace file will be reopened and tracing ini‐
tiated. This is used to move trace files.
It is not possible to use if tracing is not enabled in the
configuration file.
