Yocto Recipe for FRR
by Amol Lad 10 Aug '21

10 Aug '21

Hi, Please advise if there is any Yocto recipe for FRRouting? If not, how to go about creating one for FRR? Yocto Recipe for FRR will hugely simplify integrating FRR in Yocto based embedded linux distributions. So please advise if there are any plans to develop this recipe?

v6 Route Replace semantics
by Donald Sharp 09 Apr '20

09 Apr '20

All - We recently introduced, into master, a new cli switch for zebra on linux `--v6-rr-semantics`. This was allow zebra to take advantage of the linux kernel getting v6 route replace semantics that is coming soon in the 4.18 linux kernel. So if you are on the bleeding edge of linux kernels and FRR you can start to take advantage of this new feature. What are Route Replace semantics you ask? Suppose we have a v6 route with 2 nexthops: S>* 4:6:7::/64 [1/0] via 1:2:3::4, enp0s3, 00:00:02 via 1:2:8::8, enp0s8, 00:00:02 Now suppose we remove a nexthop: robot# conf t robot(config)# no ipv6 route 5:7:9::/78 1:2:8::9 robot(config)# end robot# show ipv6 route [snip] S>* 5:7:9::/78 [1/0] via 1:2:3::4, enp0s3, 00:01:04 Let's look at the netlink notifications for this event: [ROUTE]5:7:9::/78 proto static metric 20 <----------- From creation of the 2x ecmp for 5:7:9::/78 nexthop via 1:2:3::4 dev enp0s3 weight 1 nexthop via 1:2:8::9 dev enp0s8 weight 1 [ROUTE]Deleted 5:7:9::/78 proto static metric 20 <---- We delete the route nexthop via 1:2:3::4 dev enp0s3 weight 1 nexthop via 1:2:8::9 dev enp0s8 weight 1 [ROUTE]5:7:9::/78 via 1:2:3::4 dev enp0s3 proto static metric 20 pref medium <----- We add it back in. In order to get the routes right in the kernel we had to delete the route first and then add it back in. Exposing a small window of packets being dropped while the route is fixed in the fib. Route Replace semantics tells the linux kernel to just replace the nexthops for the route. New packets coming in would immediately start using the new ecmp nexthop group path: [ROUTE]5:7:9::/78 proto static metric 20 nexthop via 1:2:3::4 dev enp0s3 weight 1 nexthop via 1:2:8::9 dev enp0s8 weight 1 [ROUTE]5:7:9::/78 via 1:2:3::4 dev enp0s3 proto static metric 20 pref medium thanks! donald

FRR 7.0 BGP does not connect to passive neighbor
by Chris G 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

Hello, I have an issue where my BGP neighbor is configured in passive mode, however my BGP (FRR 7.0) instance does not attempt to connect to this neighbor. Is this expected behavior? Is there any way I can force my BGP instance to initiate a connection to the passive BGP neighbor ? Thanks, Chris

discard interface warnings on FreeBSD

Announcing availability of PIM-EVPN BUM Handling
by Donald Sharp 25 Apr '19

25 Apr '19

All - I'd like to thank Anuradha for her work on integrating PIM-EVPN BUM handling in FRRouting. For those of you interested in using this feature you'll need a linux kernel > 5.0 to pick up some new features there. In addition you can read about how to configure here: http://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/pim.html#pim-evpn-configuration thanks! donald

FRR on NRL CORE (fyi)
by Phil Wiggins 11 Apr '19

11 Apr '19

If anyone is interested in running FRR in the NRL CORE emulation environment, I have some build scripts for FRR on CORE that I posted at the first link below. Normally CORE runs Quagga, so this script was a hack to shoehorn FRR as a Quagga replacement. These scripts are not part of CORE yet, so are unsupported. People on this list may want to use CORE for FRR experimentation and testing, so you can customize these scripts to suit your own needs. It's best to run this stuff in a VM with no internet connection (after installation) since CORE runs lots of processes as root - a well-known security issue. https://github.com/coreemu/core/issues/170 ( install_frr_for_core.sh) FRR on NRL CORE build script - assumes Ubuntu 16.04.4 clean installation in a VM or physical host: https://gist.github.com/apwiggins/44f3592a61965783372aea5881ed9f7a (core_misc_frr.py ) used by the install script above to install at ./core/misc/frr.py https://gist.github.com/apwiggins/d610c2794c8c0a12a45bfc093fd2e949 (core_services_frr.py) used by the install script above to install at ./core/services/frr.py https://gist.github.com/apwiggins/747a9a14feff2ce3a3b8760406b825a7 https://www.nrl.navy.mil/itd/ncs/products/core The Common Open Research Emulator (CORE) is a tool for emulating networks on one or more machines. You can connect these emulated networks to live networks. CORE consists of a GUI for drawing topologies of lightweight virtual machines, and Python modules for scripting network emulation.

Hi, Does FRR allow to configure SID list for a given prefix (advertised by OSPF SR extensions)? If yes, can somebody point us to some sample config ? Thanks, Kotesh babu.Chundu

FRR 6.0.2 lost routes after Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS update/upgrade
by Sim 05 Apr '19

After apt-get upgrade / upgrade FRR lost all routes. Reboot or restart the server is the solution to resolve the issue. I'm new with FRR, but this is not happened with Quagga in the last 10/15 years.

FRR
by Azadeh Shahabi 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hello, I found different approaches regarding the usage of GPL'ed libraries; so I would like to specifically ask regarding the usage of FRR binary. Can I link FRR binary as is with no modification to it nor its source codes to proprietary codes/binary and then sale the commercial product to customer while FRR is embedded in that product as well, or do I need to open source the product or binary that FRR is used on that. Appreciate if you may assist me with this case. Best regards, Azadeh
