# NAME

`eigrpd` — Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) daemon

# SYNOPSIS

`eigrpd` | [`-dnv`] [`-D` macro=value] [`-f` file] [`-s` socket]

# DESCRIPTION

`eigrpd` is an Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) daemon which manages routing tables. EIGRP is a routing protocol based on Distance Vector technology.

To have `eigrpd` enabled at boot time, use “rcctl enable eigrpd”, which sets

`eigrpd_flags=""`

in rc.conf.local(8).

A running `eigrpd` can be controlled with the eigrpctl(8) utility.

The options are as follows:

`-D` macro=value
  Define macro to be set to value on the command line. Overrides the definition of macro in the configuration file.
`-d`
  Do not daemonize. If this option is specified, `eigrpd` will run in the foreground and log to stderr.
`-f` file
  Specify an alternative configuration file.
`-n`
  Configtest mode. Only check the configuration file for validity.
`-s` socket
  Use an alternate location for the default control socket.
`-v`
  Produce more verbose output.

# FILES

/etc/eigrpd.conf
  Default `eigrpd` configuration file.
/var/run/eigrpd.sock
  UNIX-domain socket used for communication with eigrpctl(8).
