[FROG] Migration scripts for FRR from Quagga

[Doug Tucker]

Thanks Donald, and sorry for the late response.  I am just getting back to this.  I found this in the documentation:

Configuration for the daemon should be saved in the FRR integrated configuration file located in /etc/frr/frr.conf, see Integrated Config File<https://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/basic.html#config-file> for more information on system configuration.
Prior versions of FRR supported reading and writing per-daemon config files; however, with the introduction of the centralized management daemon mgmtd this could no longer be supported.
The interesting thing is it did seem to read my zebra.conf, but completely skipped the bgpd.conf.  So I tried copying the contents of the bgpd.conf into frr.conf and the daemon starts, and doing a show run it looks pretty identical to quagga system side by side with a few caveates (hostname for instance shows up twice with 2 different values).  But, I'm not getting the advertised routes from remote.  The logs are showing me this.  So it sees them, but something is missing that wasn't needed in quagga.

I've been reading for a while now but not finding an resolution.

You don't often get email from donaldsharp72 at gmail.com. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>

In general you should just be able to use the Quagga configs directly in FRR(There are a couple caveats of course ).  I am not aware of any conversion/migration scripts though.  Have you tried just loading the config and seeing what happens? Then comparing a show run to the saved config?

I am needing to undertake migrating from all of my quagga instances to frr.  I have read through the general documentation but before I started from scratch I thought I would see if there were some migration/conversion scripts available for existing quagga installations.  Thank you for your assistance.
