NAME

SYNOPSIS

       zebra [ -bdhklrv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -P port-number
       ]


DESCRIPTION

       zebra is a routing manager that implements the zebra route engine.
       zebra supports RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPF, OSPF6, BGP4+, and BGP4-.


OPTIONS

       -b, --batch
              Runs in batch mode, zebra parses its config and exits.

       -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/zebra.conf.

       -h, --help
              A brief message.

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

       -k, --keep_kernel
              On startup, don't delete self inserted routes.

       -l, --log_mode
              Turn verbose logging on.

       -P, --vty_port port-number
              Specify the port that the zebra VTY will listen on. This
              defaults to 2602, as specified in /etc/services.

       -r, --retain
              When the program terminates, retain routes added by zebra.

       -v, --version
              Print the version and exit.

       options, and for config file commands. The definitive document is the
       Info file zebra.


DIAGNOSTICS

       The zebra process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file,
       or through syslog to the system logs.  zebra supports many debugging
       options, see the Info file, or the source for details.
