NHRP(8)

📦 version 1.2.4, in alpine 3.22, alpine 3.23, alpine 3.24

💅 NHRP(8) — nhrpd, the Next Hop Routing Protocol icon

okay bestie, so this is nhrpd — the Next Hop Routing Protocol routing engine, and yes it's built to hang out with the Quagga routing software ✨ Manual version? Version 1.1, periodt.

🌈 SYNOPSIS

nhrpd [ -dhv ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -P port-number ] [
-A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]

That's the whole vibe check right there. Copy it exactly, don't freestyle 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION

nhrpd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine. That's it, that's the whole description — it's lowkey short but she's booked and busy 💅

✨ OPTIONS ✨

here's the full lineup of flags available for the nhrpd command. every single one, no skips:

  • -d, --daemon — runs in daemon mode: it forks and exits from the tty. main character energy, she doesn't need your terminal 😌
  • *-f, --config-file *config-file — specifies the config file to use for startup. if you don't specify one, this option will likely default to /usr/local/etc/nhrpd.conf.
  • *-g, --group *group — specify the group to run as. the default is quagga.
  • -h, --help — a brief message. that's literally what the manpage says, a brief message 💖
  • *-i, --pid_file *pid-file — when nhrpd starts, its process identifier gets written to pid-file. the init system uses that recorded PID to stop or restart nhrpd. the likely default is /var/run/nhrpd.pid.
  • *-P, --vty_port *port-number — specify the port the nhrpd VTY will listen on. this defaults to 2608, as specified in /etc/services.
  • *-A, --vty_addr *vty-address — specify the address the nhrpd VTY will listen on. default is all interfaces, she's not picky 🎀
  • *-u, --user *user — specify the user to run as. default is quagga.
  • -v, --version — print the version and exit. short and sweet, iconic.

🎀 FILES 🎀

  • /usr/local/sbin/nhrpd — the default location of the nhrpd binary. that's where she lives 🏠
  • /usr/local/etc/nhrpd.conf — the default location of the nhrpd config file.
  • $(PWD)/nhrpd.log — if the nhrpd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then you will find this file in the directory where you started nhrpd. yes, where you started it — so like, check your own vibes first 🙈
⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ — this man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options. the definitive document is the Info file Quagga. no cap, go read that one for the real tea.

💀 DIAGNOSTICS

the nhrpd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or through syslog to the system logs. she's versatile ✨ nhrpd supports many debugging options — see the Info file, or the source for details. iykyk 🔥
