processes in the same namespace. This option is different than the --no_zebra
option in that a ZAPI connection is made.
+ This option can also be toggled during runtime by using the
+ ``[no] bgp no-rib`` commands in VTY shell.
+
+ Note that this option will persist after saving the configuration during
+ runtime, unless unset by the ``no bgp no-rib`` command in VTY shell prior to
+ a configuration write operation.

.. option:: -S, --skip_runas
Skip the normal process of checking capabilities and changing user and group
.. index:: bgp cluster-id A.B.C.D
.. clicmd:: bgp cluster-id A.B.C.D
+.. index:: [no] bgp no-rib

+
+To set and unset the BGP daemon ``-n`` / ``--no_kernel`` options during runtime
+to disable BGP route installation to the RIB (Zebra), the ``[no] bgp no-rib``
+commands can be used;
+
+Please note that setting the option during runtime will withdraw all routes in
+the daemons RIB from Zebra and unsetting it will announce all routes in the
+daemons RIB to Zebra. If the option is passed as a command line argument when
+starting the daemon and the configuration gets saved, the option will persist
+unless removed from the configuration with the negating command prior to the
+configuration write operation.
