NAME
     ospfd - Open Shortest Path First daemon

SYNOPSIS
     ospfd [-dnv] [-f file]

DESCRIPTION
     ospfd is an Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) daemon which manages routing
     tables.  Its main purpose is to keep AS internal routing tables in sync.

     A running ospfd can be controlled with the ospfctl(8) utility.

     The options are as follows:

     -d      Do not daemonize.  If this option is specified, ospfd 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.

     -v      Produce more verbose output.

FILES
     /etc/ospfd.conf        Default ospfd configuration file.
     /var/run/ospfd.sock    Unix-domain socket used for communication with
                            ospfctl(8).

HISTORY
     The ospfd program first appeared in OpenBSD 3.7.

CAVEATS
     For correct operation, ospfd setups with more than one configured inter-
     face require that the sysctl(8) variable net.inet.ip.forwarding is set to
     1.
