pimd − a PIM routing for use with Quagga Routing Suite.
pimd [ −dhvZ ] [ −f config-file ] [ −i pid-file ] [ −z path ] [ −P port-number ] [ −A vty-address ] [ −u user ] [ −g group ]
pimd is a protocol-independent multicast component that works with the Quagga Routing Suite.
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.
/usr/local/sbin/pimd
The default location of the pimd binary.
/usr/local/etc/pimd.conf
The default location of the pimd config file.
/var/run/pimd.pid
The default location of the pimd pid file.
/var/run/zserv.api
The default location of the zebra unix socket 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.
This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options.
The pimd process may log to standard output, to a VTY, to a log file, or through syslog to the system logs.
