sbgp(1)

NAME
sbgp - simple BGP speaker/listner

SYNOPSIS
sbgp [-i data_in_file] [-o data_out_file] [-l log_file] [my AS] [peer_IP peer_AS]...

DESCRIPTION
The `sbgp' program is a simple BGP protol speaker and listner. The program can be used to receive and/or inject BPG routing information into one or more BGP peering seesions. The program does NOT maintain routing information or apply policy to incomming or outgoing routes. (my AS) specifies the local AS number to be used in BGP peering sessions. If a local AS number is not specified, sbgp uses a random AS number greater than 6000. Multiple BGP peers may be configured by listing multiple peer_IP peer_AS on the command line.

OPTIONS

-i  Name of the file containing binary MRT messages. An argument 'stdin' will read from standard input. (Default is no input).

-o  Name of output file. An argument of 'stdout' will write to standard output (this is the default).

-v  write verbose tracing and error messages to stdout -l name of tracing log file. By default, /tmp/bgp.log is used. -b peer with the NSFNet Backbone. This feature will only exist in ALPHA versions of the software.
