NAME

       pimd - a PIM routing for use with Quagga Routing Suite.


SYNOPSIS

       pimd [ -dhvZ ] [ -f config-file ] [ -i pid-file ] [ -z path ] [ -P
       port-number ] [ -A vty-address ] [ -u user ] [ -g group ]


DESCRIPTION

       pimd is a protocol-independent multicast component that works with the
       Quagga Routing Suite.


OPTIONS

       Options available for the pimd command:

       -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/pimd.conf.

       -g, --group group
              Specify the group to run as. Default is quagga.

       -h, --help
              A brief message.

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

       -z, --socket path
              Specify the socket path for contacting the zebra daemon.  The
              likely default is /var/run/zserv.api.

       -P, --vty_port port-number
              Specify the port that the pimd VTY will listen on. This defaults
              to 2611, as specified in /etc/services.

       -A, --vty_addr vty-address
              Specify the address that the pimd VTY will listen on. Default is
              all interfaces.

       -u, --user user
              Specify the user to run as. Default is quagga.

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

       -Z, --debug_zclient
              Enable logging information for zclient debugging.


FILES

       /usr/local/sbin/pimd
              The default location of the pimd binary.

              The default location of the pimd config file.

       /var/run/pimd.pid
              The default location of the pimd pid file.

       $(PWD)/pimd.log
              If the pimd process is config'd to output logs to a file, then
              you will find this file in the directory where you started pimd.
