man vtysh (Commandes) - a integrated shell for Quagga routing software

NAME

vtysh - a integrated shell for Quagga routing software

SYNOPSIS

vtysh [ -b ]

vtysh [ -c command ]

DESCRIPTION

vtysh is a integrated shell for Quagga routing engine.

OPTIONS

Options available for the vtysh command:

-b, --boot
Execute boot startup configuration. It makes sense only if integrated config file is in use (not default in Quagga). See Info file Quagga for more info.
-c, --command command
Specify command to be executed under batch mode. It behaves like -c option in any other shell - command is executed and vtysh exits.

It's useful for gathering info from Quagga routing software from shell scripts etc.

-e, --execute command
Alias for -c. It's here only for compatibility with Zebra routing software and older Quagga versions. This will be removed in future.
-h, --help
Display a usage message on standard output and exit.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

VTYSH_PAGER
This should be the name of the pager to use. Default is more.

FILES

/usr/local/etc/vtysh.conf
The default location of the vtysh config file.
/usr/local/etc/Quagga.conf
The default location of the integrated Quagga routing engine config file if integrated config file is in use (not default).

WARNING

This man page is intended to be a quick reference for command line options. The definitive document is the Info file Quagga.

SEE ALSO

BUGS

Running the command which outputs large amount of data through pager ("show ip ospf database", "show ip bgp" etc. in big networks) will cause daemon to be unresponsive until vtysh returns back to the prompt.
