   27: .SH DESCRIPTION
   28: .B zebra 
   29: is a routing manager that implements the 
   30: .B zebra
   31: route engine.
   32: .B zebra 
   33: supports RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPF, OSPF6, IS-IS, BGP4+, and BGP4-.
   34: .SH OPTIONS
   35: Options available for the
   36: .B zebra
   37: command:
   38: .TP
   39: \fB\-b\fR, \fB\-\-batch\fR
   40: Runs in batch mode, \fBzebra\fR parses its config and exits.
   41: .TP
   42: \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-daemon\fR
   43: Runs in daemon mode, forking and exiting from tty.
   44: .TP
   45: \fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-config-file \fR\fIconfig-file\fR
   46: Specifies the config file to use for startup. If not specified this
   47: option will likely default to \fB\fI/usr/local/etc/zebra.conf\fR.
   48: .TP
   49: \fB\-g\fR, \fB\-\-group \fR\fIgroup\fR
   50: Specify the group to run as. Default is \fIquagga\fR.
   51: .TP
   52: \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
   53: A brief message.
   54: .TP
   55: \fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-pid_file \fR\fIpid-file\fR
   56: When zebra starts its process identifier is written to
   57: \fB\fIpid-file\fR.  The init system uses the recorded PID to stop or
   58: restart zebra.  The likely default is \fB\fI/var/run/zebra.pid\fR.
   59: .TP
   60: \fB\-k\fR, \fB\-\-keep_kernel\fR
   61: On startup, don't delete self inserted routes.
   62: .TP
   63: \fB\-P\fR, \fB\-\-vty_port \fR\fIport-number\fR 
   64: Specify the port that the zebra VTY will listen on. This defaults to
   65: 2601, as specified in \fB\fI/etc/services\fR.
   66: .TP
   67: \fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-vty_addr \fR\fIvty-address\fR
   68: Specify the address that the zebra VTY will listen on. Default is all
   69: interfaces.
   70: .TP
   71: \fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-user \fR\fIuser\fR
   72: Specify the user to run as. Default is \fIquagga\fR.
   73: .TP
   74: \fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-retain\fR 
   75: When the program terminates, retain routes added by \fBzebra\fR.
   76: .TP
   77: \fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-nl-bufsize \fR\fInetlink-buffer-size\fR
   78: Set netlink receive buffer size. There are cases where zebra daemon can't
   79: handle flood of netlink messages from kernel. If you ever see "recvmsg overrun"
   80: messages in zebra log, you are in trouble.
   81: 
   82: Solution is to increase receive buffer of netlink socket. Note that kernel
   83: < 2.6.14 doesn't allow to increase it over maximum value defined in
   84: \fI/proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max\fR. If you want to do it, you have to increase
   85: maximum before starting zebra.
   86: 
   87: Note that this affects Linux only.
   88: .TP
   89: \fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
   90: Print the version and exit.
