DESCRIPTION
bgpd is a routing component that works with the Quagga routing engine.
OPTIONS
Options available for the bgpd command:
- -d, --daemon
- Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.

- Set the port that bgpd will listen to for bgp data.

- Specify the port that the bgpd VTY will listen on. This defaults to 2605, as specified in /etc/services.
- -A, --vty_addr vty-address
- Specify the address that the bgpd VTY will listen on. Default is all interfaces.
- -u, --user user
- Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.
