Compile
^^^^^^^
-::
-
- make
- make check
- sudo make install
-
-Create empty FRR configuration files
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+.. include:: include-compile.rst
-Although not strictly necessary, it's good practice to create empty
-configuration files _before_ starting FRR. This assures that the permissions
-are correct. If the files are not already present, FRR will create them.
+Install FRR configuration files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-It's also important to consider _which_ files to create. FRR supports writing
-configuration to a monolithic file, :file:`/etc/frr/frr.conf`.
+.. code-block:: console
-.. seealso:: *VTYSH* section of user guide
-
-The presence of :file:`/etc/frr/frr.conf` on startup implicitly configures FRR
-to ignore daemon-specific configuration files.
-
-Daemon-specific configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-::
-
- sudo install -m 755 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
+ sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/zebra.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/bgpd.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ospfd.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ospf6d.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/isisd.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ripd.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ripngd.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/pimd.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/ldpd.conf
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/nhrpd.conf
-
-Monolithic configuration
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons.conf /etc/frr/daemons.conf
+ sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons
-::
+Tweak sysctls
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- sudo install -m 755 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr
- sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr
- sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr /dev/null /etc/frr/frr.conf
-
-Enable IPv4 & IPv6 forwarding
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Some sysctls need to be changed in order to enable IPv4/IPv6 forwarding and
+MPLS (if supported by your platform). If your platform does not support MPLS,
+skip the MPLS related configuration in this section.
Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and uncomment the following values (ignore the
other settings):
# based on Router Advertisements for this host
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1
+Reboot or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running system.
+
Add MPLS kernel modules
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+"""""""""""""""""""""""
Ubuntu 18.04 ships with kernel 4.15. MPLS modules are present by default. To
enable, add the following lines to :file:`/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`:
mpls_router
mpls_iptunnel
-Reboot or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running system.
+
+And load the kernel modules on the running system:
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ sudo modprobe mpls-router mpls-iptunnel
Enable MPLS Forwarding
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+""""""""""""""""""""""
Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and the following lines. Make sure to add a line
equal to :file:`net.mpls.conf.eth0.input` for each interface used with MPLS.
net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1
net.mpls.platform_labels=100000
-Install the systemd service
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Install service files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-::
+.. code-block:: console
sudo install -m 644 tools/frr.service /etc/systemd/system/frr.service
- sudo install -m 644 tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons
- sudo install -m 644 tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf
- sudo install -m 644 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+ sudo systemctl enable frr
Enable daemons
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-Edit ``/etc/frr/daemons`` and change the value from "no" to "yes" for those
-daemons you want to start by systemd. For example:
-
-::
-
- zebra=yes
- bgpd=yes
- ospfd=yes
- ospf6d=yes
- ripd=yes
- ripngd=yes
- isisd=yes
-
-Enable the systemd service
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Open :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` with your text editor of choice. Look for the
+section with ``watchfrr_enable=...`` and ``zebra=...`` etc. Enable the daemons
+as required by changing the value to ``yes``.
-Enabling the systemd service causes FRR to be started upon boot. To enable it,
-use the following command:
-
-.. code-block:: shell
-
- systemctl enable frr
-
-Start the systemd service
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+Start FRR
+^^^^^^^^^
.. code-block:: shell
systemctl start frr
-
-After starting the service, you can use ``systemctl status frr`` to check its
-status.
