The multi-process architecture brings extensibility, modularity and

-terminal interfaces. Each daemon has its own configuration file and terminal
-interface. When you configure a static route, it must be done in the *Zebra*
-configuration file. When you configure BGP network it must be done in the
-*bgpd* configuration file. This can become difficult to manage. To resolve the

+maintainability. All of the FRR daemons can be managed through a single
+integrated user interface shell called *vtysh*. *vtysh* connects to each
+daemon through a UNIX domain socket and then works as a proxy for user input.
+In addition to a unified frontend, *vtysh* also provides the ability to
+configure all the daemons using a single configuration file through the
+integrated configuration mode avoiding the problem of having to maintain a
+separate configuration file for each daemon.
