NAME

eigrpd —

Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol daemon

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:

eigrpd_flags=""

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: Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides the definition of macro in the configuration file.
-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.

FILES

/etc/eigrpd.conf: Default eigrpd configuration file.
/var/run/eigrpd.sock: UNIX-domain socket used for communication with eigrpctl(8).
