quagga

Quagga is a routing software package which supports following protocols: RIP, OSPF, BGP, IPv4, IPv6, etc.

NetBSD provides network configuration through ifconfig, route, netstat, etc.

In the alternative Quagga also can setup interface's, addresses, flags, routes and so on. Quagga provides and handles the alternative networking options. Quagga can be in use for single xDSL connection, small network configuration and to set-up backbone routers for really large network.

Very often Quagga in use together with NetBSD networking. NetBSD serves interfaces and Quagga serves routing.

Traditionally ISP's uses Quagga for RIP, OSPF and BGP routing.

Installation

To install Quagga Routing Suite do:

# cd /usr/pkgsrc/net/quagga
# make install

Configuration files located at /usr/pkg/etc/zebra.

To run quagga during machine start you can add into rc.local file following:

mkdir /var/run/zebra
chown quagga /var/run/zebra
chgrp quagga /var/run/zebra
/usr/pkg/sbin/zebra -d
/usr/pkg/sbin/bgpd -d

Put in /usr/pkg/etc/zebra/zebra.conf following:

hostname yourhostname
password yourpassword
enable password yourpassword

Log files located at: /var/log/quagga/.

Interfaces

If you need to define lo put the following in /usr/pkg/etc/zebra/zebra.conf, for an example:

interface lo
ip address 127.0.0.1/8 
ip address A.B.C.D/32 (this is your host real IP address)

To enable network interfaces put for an example:

interface rtk0
ip address 192.168.170.201/24
multicast

Note. This is alternative way to setup network interfaces instead of /etc/ifconfig.xxx configuration files.
