Hi there I am testing FRR as an alternative to Quagga on what is a very busy core router - with multiple full table BGP Sessions. I am currently using this on Slackware 14.2 ... I have things up and running and some of the quagga bugs seem to have been cleared which is a PLUs BUT I am seeing oddness - most obviosuly with IPv6. Running a traceroute from a server behind it is alternating between traceroute6 l.root-servers.net traceroute to l.ROOT-SERVERS.NET (2001:500:9f::42) from 2a00:1940:0:1::78, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets 1 lon1-gw1.merula.net (2a00:1940:0:1::70) 0.647 ms 0.389 ms 0.425 ms 2 2a00:1940:0:1::67 (2a00:1940:0:1::67) 0.454 ms 0.565 ms 2.283 ms 3 2001:7f8:17::8480:1 (2001:7f8:17::8480:1) 0.753 ms 0.662 ms 0.728 ms 4 2a00:1a80:0:1::5:2 (2a00:1a80:0:1::5:2) 7.458 ms 5.662 ms 5.59 ms 5 l.root-servers.net (2001:500:9f::42) 5.727 ms 5.722 ms 5.726 ms and traceroute6 l.root-servers.net traceroute to l.ROOT-SERVERS.NET (2001:500:9f::42) from 2a00:1940:0:1::78, 30 hops max, 24 byte packets 1 lon1-gw1.merula.net (2a00:1940:0:1::70) 0.481 ms * 0.682 ms !N 2 lon1-gw1.merula.net (2a00:1940:0:1::70) 0.614 ms !N 0.54 ms !N 0.529 ms !N The zebta.log file is filled with lines like: 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d1::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d2::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d3::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d4::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d5::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d6::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d7::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 2017/06/13 02:11:01 ZEBRA: zread_ipv6_add: Prefix 2402:2700:d8::/48 has 2 nexthops, but we can only use the first 1 and so on.... What am I missing here - I am sure it is probbay something really obvious ... Can you help point me the right way ? Thanks!

It seems to me that this is a bug, since with quagga and the old version of frr everything worked.

Howe to start frrouting (or quagga) daemons?
by AJ NOURI 31 May '17

31 May '17

After installing frrouting: ./configure make make install created a user+group 'frr' and gave access to the state and config files/direcotries as mentione in FRROUTING CONFIGURATION (following ./configure) Looks like the service is not started and such '*quagga*' or '*frr*' services don't exist. and '*vtysh*' gives: vtysh: error while loading shared libraries:* libfrr.so.0*: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So how to start the routing daemons?

Install frrouting inside Docker container
by AJ NOURI 30 May '17

30 May '17

I am trying to install frrouting on a docker container (ubuntu-based) and I am still fighting againt dependency hell. I have already installed : readline autoconf libtool libjson-c-dev tar build-essential libxml2 libxml-libxml-perl dialog pkg-config libglib2.0-dev But I am stuck with "libcares", which I cannot find as a package: ------------------ configure: error: Package requirements (libcares) were not met: No package 'libcares' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables CARES_CFLAGS and CARES_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details. ------------------ Any hint?

Current state of MPLS for FRR?
by William George 27 May '17

27 May '17

I'm in the tenuous position of trying to re-learn MPLS and BGP for an actual (largely cisco based) carrier network, as well as evaluate how FRR or other OSS projects might be integrated in the future. Doing these in parallel is... challenging :) Looking at the docs on https://frrouting.org/ it's not *exactly* clear what the current state is. I notice in the tests for LDP, there's a number of "all-fails", but I'm not familiar enough w/ the protocol to know whether those are strictly necessary for a working implementation. I was going to add that I wasn't sure if the "vpnv4" address family was supported but I found this <https://frrouting.org/user-guide/BGP-Address-Family.html#index-show-ip-bgp-…>. It explicitly calls out the supported RFCs, so I guess we're good there (though it should probably be noted in the "supported RFCs" page. If the contribution process is simple enough I'll probably submit a pull request). So the BGP support seems to be there, and LDP seems "mostly" complete, whatever that means. Does that mean FRR can actually integrate with a functioning MPLS network? How "production ready" should this be considered? Similarly, though I know this isn't exactly the responsibility of FRR, can anyone give me an idea of the state of open hardware support for MPLS? >From what I've seen so far, it's actually rather lacking, but I'm not confident I'm looking in the right places. Last thing I want to do is add an MPLS node that's going to punt every MPLS frame to CPU or something :) Thanks in advance -- William R. George

FRR for MPLS in OpenVswitch

Can Frrouting be used for MPLS, which is implemented in OpvnVsvich? For example, to automatically distribute MPLS labels.

Announcing tab completion of interface names, prefix-lists, route-maps and BGP peer names
by Donald Sharp 15 May '17

15 May '17

All - We have pushed the ability for tab completion of interface names, prefix-lists, route-maps and BGP peer names into the master branch. For a quick demo of this feature watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sbgdZRJNJ0 I'd like to thank David for getting this feature into FRR. thanks! donald

Does anybody else have issues with bgpd crashing? Quagga works fine for me, but git and 2.0 crash soon after launching. -- E-Mail to and from me, in connection with the transaction of public business, is subject to the Wyoming Public Records Act and may be disclosed to third parties.
