+FreeBSD 9
+=========================================
+
+FreeBSD 9 restrictions:
+-----------------------
+
+- MPLS is not supported on ``FreeBSD``. MPLS requires a Linux Kernel
+ (4.5 or higher). LDP can be built, but may have limited use without
+ MPLS
+
+Install required packages
+-------------------------
+
+Add packages: (Allow the install of the package management tool if this
+is first package install and asked)
+
+::
+
+ pkg install -y git autoconf automake libtool gmake \
+ pkgconf texinfo json-c bison flex py36-pytest c-ares \
+ python3 py36-sphinx libexecinfo
+
+Make sure there is no /usr/bin/flex preinstalled (and use the newly
+installed in /usr/local/bin): (FreeBSD frequently provides a older flex
+as part of the base OS which takes preference in path)
+
+::
+
+ rm -f /usr/bin/flex
+
+For building with clang (instead of gcc), upgrade clang from 3.4 default
+to 3.6 *This is needed to build FreeBSD packages as well - for packages
+clang is default* (Clang 3.4 as shipped with FreeBSD 9 crashes during
+compile)
+
+::
+
+ pkg install clang36
+ pkg delete clang34
+ mv /usr/bin/clang /usr/bin/clang34
+ ln -s /usr/local/bin/clang36 /usr/bin/clang
+
+.. include:: building-libyang.rst
+
+Get FRR, compile it and install it (from Git)
+---------------------------------------------
+
+**This assumes you want to build and install FRR from source and not
+using any packages**
+
+Add frr group and user
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+::
+
+ pw groupadd frr -g 101
+ pw groupadd frrvty -g 102
+ pw adduser frr -g 101 -u 101 -G 102 -c "FRR suite" \
+ -d /usr/local/etc/frr -s /usr/sbin/nologin
+
+(You may prefer different options on configure statement. These are just
+an example)
+
+::
+
+ git clone https://github.com/frrouting/frr.git frr
+ cd frr
+ ./bootstrap.sh
+ export MAKE=gmake
+ export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
+ export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
+ ./configure \
+ --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/frr \
+ --enable-pkgsrcrcdir=/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d \
+ --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
+ --prefix=/usr/local \
+ --enable-multipath=64 \
+ --enable-user=frr \
+ --enable-group=frr \
+ --enable-vty-group=frrvty \
+ --enable-configfile-mask=0640 \
+ --enable-logfile-mask=0640 \
+ --enable-fpm \
+ --with-pkg-git-version \
+ --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyOwnFRRVersion
+ gmake
+ gmake check
+ sudo gmake install
+
+Create empty FRR configuration files
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ sudo mkdir /usr/local/etc/frr
+
+For integrated config file:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/frr.conf
+
+For individual config files:
+
+.. note:: Integrated config is preferred to individual config.
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/babeld.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/bfdd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/bgpd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/eigrpd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/isisd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ldpd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/nhrpd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ospf6d.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ospfd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/pbrd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/pimd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ripd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ripngd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/staticd.conf
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/zebra.conf
+ sudo chown -R frr:frr /usr/local/etc/frr/
+ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+ sudo chown frr:frrvty /usr/local/etc/frr/vtysh.conf
+ sudo chmod 640 /usr/local/etc/frr/*.conf
+
+Enable IP & IPv6 forwarding
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Add the following lines to the end of ``/etc/sysctl.conf``:
+
+::
+
+ # Routing: We need to forward packets
+ net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
+ net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1
+
+**Reboot** or use ``sysctl`` to apply the same config to the running system.
