SYNOPSIS

eigrpd

[-dnv] [-D macro=value] [-f file] [-s socket]

DESCRIPTION

eigrpd is an Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) daemon which manages routing tables. EIGRP is a routing protocol based on Distance Vector technology.

eigrpd is usually started at boot time, and can be enabled by setting the following in /etc/rc.conf.local:

See rc(8) and rc.conf(8) for more information on the boot process and enabling daemons.

A running eigrpd can be controlled with the eigrpctl(8) utility.

The options are as follows:

-D macro=value

-d

Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, eigrpd will run in the foreground and log to stderr.

-f file

Specify an alternative configuration file.

-n

Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.

-s socket

Use an alternate location for the default control socket.

-v

Produce more verbose output.
