The multi-process architecture brings extensibility, modularity and -maintainability. At the same time it also brings many configuration files 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 -problem, FRR provides integrated user interface shell called *vtysh*. *vtysh* -connects to each daemon with UNIX domain socket and then works as a proxy for -user input. +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.
