Anyone have any ideas? I have spend more time, and I am completely stumped. If anyone has a frr.conf file for bgp they would be willing to share that would be a great help.

I have read and followed the documentation and see nothing I'm doing wrong, but clearly I am missing something. I stripped everything out of the frr.conf, replacing my existing one with the default file that is put there from the install. Without anything in it telling it to announce any networks, it still announces the network subnet the host is in, and from other parts of the lan I can reach any hosts in that subnet (a /24). Good news, frr is routing properly. However, this location has 3 other subnets I need this router to route traffic to/from. Keeping the frr.conf simple still, I added only the 3 other subnets to the config. It does not announce these networks despite being told to. If I add the static routes to the config for the other 3 networks as Leonardo suggested with the Null0, it then DOES announce those subnets, however, on the local routing table for this router, the networks are blackholed. So the rest of the lan knows where they are suppose to go to get to those networks, but once they reach the destination router the black hole drops the packets. Does anyone have any suggestions to how to resolve this? Hours of reading and googling has not resulted in anything positive.
What I would really like to see that I can't seem to find online, is a working frr.conf I can compare. Searching online for working configs for quagga, it is easy to find dozenes of them. I can't seem to find any for frr. If I ever get this working, I will publish mine so others have something to follow.

Finally getting back to this. So I tried what you suggested, running the command from the config for vtysh. The good news is the announcements of the other subnets are now seen by the other routers, the bad news is on the announcing router, the routes are shown as a blackhole and therefore disgarded. So while the other networks now know where to send traffic for the local subnets, it cannot reach anything in those subnets with the exception of, the network the frr router is in. Even though I set the ip route to Null0 for it, it does not black hole it. Here is what I see for each on the local frr router now:
blackhole 10.223.112.0/22 proto 196 metric 20
10.223.119.0/24 dev ens5 proto kernel scope link src 10.223.119.4 metric 100
blackhole 10.223.120.0/22 proto 196 metric 20
blackhole 10.223.127.0/24 proto 196 metric 20
If I remove those ip route statements from the config, the announcment of these black holed networks just go away and they cannot be found.

You don't often get email from leonardo.porto at iw.net.br. Learn why this is important<https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification>
Are you using a single configuration file?
Quagga used to have separated files and daemons so the sintaxes had differences between them.
My FRR is version 8.3.1 using a single file and vtysh:
# conf t
FRR(config)# ip route ?
A.B.C.D IP destination prefix
A.B.C.D/M IP destination prefix (e.g. 10.0.0.0/8)
FRR(config)# ip route 1.1.1.1/24 ?
A.B.C.D IP gateway address
INTERFACE IP gateway interface name
eth0 eth1 eth2 eth3 eth4 eth5 eth6 lo
Null0 Null interface
blackhole Silently discard pkts when matched
reject Emit an ICMP unreachable when matched

ip route help doesn't show that syntax as correct...any chance you have where you set that so it wasn't lost on a reboot and what it looks like?
Usage: ip route { list | flush } SELECTOR
ip route save SELECTOR
ip route restore
ip route showdump
ip route get [ ROUTE_GET_FLAGS ] ADDRESS
[ from ADDRESS iif STRING ]
[ oif STRING ] [ tos TOS ]
[ mark NUMBER ] [ vrf NAME ]
[ uid NUMBER ] [ ipproto PROTOCOL ]
[ sport NUMBER ] [ dport NUMBER ]
ip route { add | del | change | append | replace } ROUTE
Assuming "add" is needed, it doesn't like the Null0 at the end.
ip route add 10.223.0.0/22 Null0
Error: either "to" is duplicate, or "Null0" is a garbage.

Hi Doug, I had a similar problem migrating from Quagga to FRR, I had to declare static routes (null destination) for the networks I was announcing:
For example:
ip route X.0.10.0/23 Null0
ip route X.0.20.0/23 Null0
ip route X.0.30.0/23 Null0

I am under a time crunch now and have to get things going. So with one of my routers, I copied the full bgpd.conf into frr.conf. I am receiving all routes from the remote peer, however, the only outgoing route they are getting from this config is the /24 subnet that the frr router lives in. The other 3 subnets that I have defined are not being propogated. Any ideas what would cause this and how to resolve would be appriciated. I've been searching for a frr.conf sample file on google I could use to compare to mine but coming up empty.
