🎀 RIPD(8) 🎀

okay so welcome to the RIPD(8) page bestie, it's giving "routing daemon but make it chic" 💅

✨ NAME ✨

ripd — a RIP routing engine for use with Quagga routing software. that's it, that's the vibe 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

ripd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine. literally its whole job, and it ate 🔥

✨ OPTIONS ✨

Options available for the ripd command:

✨ OPTIONS ✨ (yes again, she's extra)

  • -d, --daemon — runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty. she leaves the group chat but stays online 💀
  • -f, --config-file config-file — specifies the config file to use for startup. if you don't pass it, this option will likely default to /usr/local/etc/ripd.conf.
  • -g, --group group — specify the group to run as. default is quagga.
  • -h, --help — a brief message. that's the whole description, she's a woman of few words 🫶
  • -i, --pid_file pid-file — when ripd starts, its process identifier is written to pid-file. the init system uses the recorded PID to stop or restart ripd. the likely default is /var/run/ripd.pid.
  • -P, --vty_port port-number — specify the port that the ripd VTY will listen on. this defaults to 2602, as specified in /etc/services. iconic port number ngl ⭐
  • -A, --vty_addr vty-address — specify the address that the ripd VTY will listen on. default is all interfaces. she's not picky 💜
  • -u, --user user — specify the user to run as. default is quagga.
  • -r, --retain — when the program terminates, retain routes added by ripd. she keeps her receipts fr fr 🙈
  • -v, --version — print the version and exit. quick little vibe check then she's gone 🌈

🌸 FILES 🌸

  • /usr/local/sbin/ripd — the default location of the ripd binary.
  • /usr/local/etc/ripd.conf — the default location of the ripd config file.
  • $(PWD)/ripd.log — if the ripd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then you will find this file in the directory where you started ripd. so like, wherever you were standing when you launched her 🎀

💀 WARNING 💀

This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options. The definitive document is the Info file Quagga. so like... she's a summary bestie, not the whole syllabus, don't come for her 😭

🦋 DIAGNOSTICS 🦋

The ripd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or through syslog to the system logs. ripd supports many debugging options, see the Info file, or the source for details. she's got range 👑
