.Nm bgpctl
.Nd control the Border Gateway Protocol daemon
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm bgpctl
.Op Fl jn
.Op Fl s Ar socket
.Ar command
.Op Ar argument ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
program controls the
.Xr bgpd 8
daemon.
Commands may be abbreviated to the minimum unambiguous prefix; for example,
.Cm s s
for
.Cm show summary .
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl j
Create output as JSON object.
.It Fl n
Show neighbors' IP addresses instead of their description.
.It Fl s Ar socket
Use
.Ar socket
to communicate with
.Xr bgpd 8
instead of the default
.Pa /var/run/bgpd.sock.<rdomain>
where
.Ar <rdomain>
is the routing domain
.Nm
is running in.
To administer
.Xr bgpd 8
in a different routing domain, run
.Nm
in said routing domain.
.El
.Pp
The commands are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width xxxxxx
.It Xo
.Cm fib
.Op Cm table Ar number
.Cm couple
.Xc
Insert the learned routes into the specified Forwarding Information Base
a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
.It Xo
.Cm fib
.Op Cm table Ar number
.Cm decouple
.Xc
Remove the learned routes from the specified Forwarding Information Base
a.k.a. the kernel routing table.
.It Cm log brief
Disable verbose debug logging.
.It Cm log verbose
Enable verbose debug logging.
.It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm clear Op Ar reason
Stop and restart the BGP session to the specified neighbor.
If a
.Ar reason

is sent as Administrative Shutdown Communication to the neighbor.
.Ar peer
may be the neighbor's address, description or the word
.Cm group
followed by a group description.
.It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm destroy
Destroy a previously cloned peer.
The peer must be down before calling this function.
.Ar peer
may be the neighbor's address, description or the word
.Cm group
followed by a group description.
.It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm down Op Ar reason
Take the BGP session to the specified neighbor down.
If a
.Ar reason
is provided, the
.Ar reason
is sent as Administrative Shutdown Communication to the neighbor.
.Ar peer
may be the neighbor's address, description or the word
.Cm group
followed by a group description.
.It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm refresh
Request the neighbor to re-send all routes.
Note that the neighbor is not obliged to re-send all routes, or any routes at
all, even if it announced the route refresh capability.
.Ar peer
may be the neighbor's address, description or the word
.Cm group
followed by a group description.
.It Cm neighbor Ar peer Cm up
Bring the BGP session to the specified neighbor up.
.Ar peer
may be the neighbor's address, description or the word
.Cm group
followed by a group description.
.It Cm network add Ar prefix Op Ar arguments
Add the specified prefix to the list of announced networks.
It is possible to set various path attributes with additional
