When port number is 0, that means do not + listen bgp port. + +.. option:: -l, --listenon + + Specify a specific IP address for bgpd to listen on, rather than its default + of ``0.0.0.0`` / ``::``. This can be useful to constrain bgpd to an internal + address, or to run multiple bgpd processes on one host. + +.. option:: -n, --no_kernel + + Do not install learned routes into the linux kernel. This option is useful + for a route-reflector environment or if you are running multiple bgp + processes in the same namespace. This option is different than the --no_zebra + option in that a ZAPI connection is made. + +.. option:: -S, --skip_runas + + Skip the normal process of checking capabilities and changing user and group + information. + +.. option:: -e, --ecmp + + Run BGP with a limited ecmp capability, that is different than what BGP + was compiled with. The value specified must be greater than 0 and less + than or equal to the MULTIPATH_NUM specified on compilation. + +.. option:: -Z, --no_zebra + + Do not communicate with zebra at all. This is different than the --no_kernel + option in that we do not even open a ZAPI connection to the zebra process. + +.. option:: -s, --socket_size + + When opening tcp connections to our peers, set the socket send buffer + size that the kernel will use for the peers socket. This option + is only really useful at a very large scale. Experimentation should + be done to see if this is helping or not at the scale you are running + at. + LABEL MANAGER ------------- |
