*****
Zebra
*****

*zebra* is an IP routing manager. It provides kernel routing
table updates, interface lookups, and redistribution of routes between
different routing protocols.

.. _invoking-zebra:

Invoking zebra
==============

Besides the common invocation options (:ref:`common-invocation-options`), the
*zebra* specific invocation options are listed below.

.. program:: zebra

.. option:: -b, --batch

   Runs in batch mode. *zebra* parses configuration file and terminates
   immediately.

.. option:: -K TIME, --graceful_restart TIME

   If this option is specified, the graceful restart time is TIME seconds.
   Zebra, when started, will read in routes.  Those routes that Zebra
   identifies that it was the originator of will be swept in TIME seconds.
   If no time is specified then we will sweep those routes immediately.
   Under the \*BSD's, there is no way to properly store the originating
   route and the route types in this case will show up as a static route
   with an admin distance of 255.

.. option:: -r, --retain

   When program terminates, do not flush routes installed by *zebra* from the
   kernel.

.. option:: -e X, --ecmp X

   Run zebra with a limited ecmp ability compared to what it is compiled to.
   If you are running zebra on hardware limited functionality you can
   force zebra to limit the maximum ecmp allowed to X.  This number
   is bounded by what you compiled FRR with as the maximum number.

.. option:: -n, --vrfwnetns

   When *Zebra* starts with this option, the VRF backend is based on Linux
   network namespaces. That implies that all network namespaces discovered by
   ZEBRA will create an associated VRF. The other daemons will operate on the VRF
   VRF defined by *Zebra*, as usual.

   .. seealso:: :ref:`zebra-vrf`

.. option:: -z <path_to_socket>, --socket <path_to_socket>

   If this option is supplied on the cli, the path to the zebra
   control socket(zapi), is used.  This option overrides a -N <namespace>
   option if handed to it on the cli.

.. option:: --v6-rr-semantics

   The linux kernel is receiving the ability to use the same route
   replacement semantics for v6 that v4 uses.  If you are using a
   kernel that supports this functionality then run *Zebra* with this
   option and we will use Route Replace Semantics instead of delete
   than add.

.. option:: --asic-offload [notify_on_offload|notify_on_ack]

   The linux kernel has the ability to use asic-offload ( see switchdev
   development ).  When the operator knows that FRR will be working in
   this way, allow them to specify this with FRR.  At this point this
   code only supports asynchronous notification of the offload state.
   In other words the initial ACK received for linux kernel installation
   does not give zebra any data about what the state of the offload
   is.  This option takes the optional paramegers notify_on_offload
   or notify_on_ack.  This signals to zebra to notify upper level
   protocols about route installation/update on ack received from
   the linux kernel or from offload notification.

.. option:: -s <SIZE>, --nl-bufsize <SIZE>

   Allow zebra to modify the default receive buffer size to SIZE
   in bytes.  Under \*BSD only the -s option is available.

.. _interface-commands:

Configuration Addresses behaviour
=================================

At startup, *Zebra* will first discover the underlying networking objects
from the operating system. This includes interfaces, addresses of
interfaces, static routes, etc. Then, it will read the configuration
file, including its own interface addresses, static routes, etc. All this
information comprises the operational context from *Zebra*. But
configuration context from *Zebra* will remain the same as the one from
:file:`zebra.conf` config file. As an example, executing the following
:clicmd:`show running-config` will reflect what was in :file:`zebra.conf`.
In a similar way, networking objects that are configured outside of the
*Zebra* like *iproute2* will not impact the configuration context from
*Zebra*. This behaviour permits you to continue saving your own config
file, and decide what is really to be pushed on the config file, and what
is dependent on the underlying system.
Note that inversely, from *Zebra*, you will not be able to delete networking
objects that were previously configured outside of *Zebra*.


Interface Commands
==================

.. _standard-commands:

Standard Commands
-----------------


.. clicmd:: interface IFNAME


.. clicmd:: interface IFNAME vrf VRF


.. clicmd:: shutdown


   Up or down the current interface.


.. clicmd:: ip address ADDRESS/PREFIX

.. clicmd:: ipv6 address ADDRESS/PREFIX



   Set the IPv4 or IPv6 address/prefix for the interface.


.. clicmd:: ip address LOCAL-ADDR peer PEER-ADDR/PREFIX


   Configure an IPv4 Point-to-Point address on the interface. (The concept of
   PtP addressing does not exist for IPv6.)

   ``local-addr`` has no subnet mask since the local side in PtP addressing is
   always a single (/32) address. ``peer-addr/prefix`` can be an arbitrary subnet
   behind the other end of the link (or even on the link in Point-to-Multipoint
   setups), though generally /32s are used.


.. clicmd:: description DESCRIPTION ...

   Set description for the interface.


.. clicmd:: mpls enable

   Enable or disable mpls kernel processing on the interface, for linux.  Interfaces
   configured with mpls will not automatically turn on if mpls kernel modules do not
   happen to be loaded.  This command will fail on 3.X linux kernels and does not
   work on non-linux systems at all.

.. clicmd:: multicast


   Enable or disable multicast flag for the interface.


.. clicmd:: bandwidth (1-10000000)


   Set bandwidth value of the interface in kilobits/sec. This is for
   calculating OSPF cost. This command does not affect the actual device
   configuration.


.. clicmd:: link-detect


   Enable or disable link-detect on platforms which support this. Currently only
   Linux, and only where network interface drivers support reporting
   link-state via the ``IFF_RUNNING`` flag.

   In FRR, link-detect is on by default.

.. _link-parameters-commands:

Link Parameters Commands
------------------------

.. note::

   At this time, FRR offers partial support for some of the routing
   protocol extensions that can be used with MPLS-TE. FRR does not
   support a complete RSVP-TE solution currently.

.. clicmd:: link-params


   Enter into the link parameters sub node. At least 'enable' must be
   set to activate the link parameters, and consequently routing
   information that could be used as part of Traffic Engineering on
   this interface. MPLS-TE must be enable at the OSPF
   (:ref:`ospf-traffic-engineering`) or ISIS
   (:ref:`isis-traffic-engineering`) router level in complement to
   this.

   Under link parameter statement, the following commands set the different TE values:

.. clicmd:: enable

   Enable link parameters for this interface.

.. clicmd:: metric (0-4294967295)

.. clicmd:: max-bw BANDWIDTH

.. clicmd:: max-rsv-bw BANDWIDTH

.. clicmd:: unrsv-bw (0-7) BANDWIDTH

.. clicmd:: admin-grp BANDWIDTH

   These commands specifies the Traffic Engineering parameters of the interface
   in conformity to RFC3630 (OSPF) or RFC5305 (ISIS).  There are respectively
   the TE Metric (different from the OSPF or ISIS metric), Maximum Bandwidth
   (interface speed by default), Maximum Reservable Bandwidth, Unreserved
   Bandwidth for each 0-7 priority and Admin Group (ISIS) or Resource
   Class/Color (OSPF).

   Note that BANDWIDTH is specified in IEEE floating point format and express
   in Bytes/second.

.. clicmd:: delay (0-16777215) [min (0-16777215) | max (0-16777215)]

.. clicmd:: delay-variation (0-16777215)

.. clicmd:: packet-loss PERCENTAGE

.. clicmd:: res-bw BANDWIDTH

.. clicmd:: ava-bw BANDWIDTH

.. clicmd:: use-bw BANDWIDTH

   These command specifies additional Traffic Engineering parameters of the
   interface in conformity to draft-ietf-ospf-te-metrics-extension-05.txt and
   draft-ietf-isis-te-metrics-extension-03.txt. There are respectively the
   delay, jitter, loss, available bandwidth, reservable bandwidth and utilized
   bandwidth.

   Note that BANDWIDTH is specified in IEEE floating point format and express
   in Bytes/second.  Delays and delay variation are express in micro-second
   (µs). Loss is specified in PERCENTAGE ranging from 0 to 50.331642% by step
   of 0.000003.

.. clicmd:: neighbor <A.B.C.D> as (0-65535)

   Specifies the remote ASBR IP address and Autonomous System (AS) number
   for InterASv2 link in OSPF (RFC5392).  Note that this option is not yet
   supported for ISIS (RFC5316).

Global Commands
------------------------

.. clicmd:: zebra protodown reason-bit (0-31)

   This command is only supported for linux and a kernel > 5.1.
   Change reason-bit frr uses for setting protodown. We default to 7, but
   if another userspace app ever conflicts with this, you can change it here.
   The descriptor for this bit should exist in :file:`/etc/iproute2/protodown_reasons.d/`
   to display with :clicmd:`ip -d link show`.

Nexthop Tracking
================

Nexthop tracking doesn't resolve nexthops via the default route by default.
Allowing this might be useful when e.g. you want to allow BGP to peer across
the default route.

.. clicmd:: zebra nexthop-group keep (1-3600)

   Set the time that zebra will keep a created and installed nexthop group
   before removing it from the system if the nexthop group is no longer
   being used.  The default time is 180 seconds.

.. clicmd:: ip nht resolve-via-default

   Allow IPv4 nexthop tracking to resolve via the default route. This parameter
   is configured per-VRF, so the command is also available in the VRF subnode.

.. clicmd:: ipv6 nht resolve-via-default

   Allow IPv6 nexthop tracking to resolve via the default route. This parameter
   is configured per-VRF, so the command is also available in the VRF subnode.

.. clicmd:: show ip nht [vrf NAME] [A.B.C.D|X:X::X:X] [mrib]

   Show nexthop tracking status for address resolution.  If vrf is not specified
   then display the default vrf.  If ``all`` is specified show all vrf address
   resolution output.  If an ipv4 or ipv6 address is not specified then display
   all addresses tracked, else display the requested address.  The mrib keyword
   indicates that the operator wants to see the multicast rib address resolution
   table.  An alternative form of the command is ``show ip import-check`` and this
   form of the command is deprecated at this point in time.

PBR dataplane programming
=========================

Some dataplanes require the PBR nexthop to be resolved into a SMAC, DMAC and
outgoing interface

.. clicmd:: pbr nexthop-resolve

   Resolve PBR nexthop via ip neigh tracking

Administrative Distance
=======================

Administrative distance allows FRR to make decisions about what routes
should be installed in the rib based upon the originating protocol.
The lowest Admin Distance is the route selected.  This is purely a
subjective decision about ordering and care has been taken to choose
the same distances that other routing suites have chosen.

+------------+-----------+
| Protocol   | Distance  |
+------------+-----------+
| System     | 0         |
+------------+-----------+
| Kernel     | 0         |
+------------+-----------+
| Connect    | 0         |
+------------+-----------+
| Static     | 1         |
+------------+-----------+
| NHRP       | 10        |
+------------+-----------+
| EBGP       | 20        |
+------------+-----------+
| EIGRP      | 90        |
+------------+-----------+
| BABEL      | 100       |
+------------+-----------+
| OSPF       | 110       |
+------------+-----------+
| ISIS       | 115       |
+------------+-----------+
| OPENFABRIC | 115       |
+------------+-----------+
| RIP        | 120       |
+------------+-----------+
| Table      | 150       |
+------------+-----------+
| SHARP      | 150       |
+------------+-----------+
| IBGP       | 200       |
+------------+-----------+
| PBR        | 200       |
+------------+-----------+

An admin distance of 255 indicates to Zebra that the route should not be
installed into the Data Plane.  Additionally routes with an admin distance
of 255 will not be redistributed.

Zebra does treat Kernel routes as special case for the purposes of Admin
Distance.  Upon learning about a route that is not originated by FRR
we read the metric value as a uint32_t.  The top byte of the value
is interpreted as the Administrative Distance and the low three bytes
are read in as the metric.  This special case is to facilitate VRF
default routes.

Route Replace Semantics
=======================

When using the Linux Kernel as a forwarding plane, routes are installed
with a metric of 20 to the kernel.  Please note that the kernel's metric
value bears no resemblence to FRR's RIB metric or admin distance.  It
merely is a way for the Linux Kernel to decide which route to use if it
has multiple routes for the same prefix from multiple sources.  An example
here would be if someone else was running another routing suite besides
FRR at the same time, the kernel must choose what route to use to forward
on.  FRR choose the value of 20 because of two reasons.  FRR wanted a
value small enough to be chosen but large enough that the operator could
allow route prioritization by the kernel when multiple routing suites are
being run and FRR wanted to take advantage of Route Replace semantics that
the linux kernel offers.  In order for Route Replacement semantics to
work FRR must use the same metric when issuing the replace command.
Currently FRR only supports Route Replace semantics using the Linux
Kernel.

.. _zebra-vrf:

Virtual Routing and Forwarding
==============================

FRR supports :abbr:`VRF (Virtual Routing and Forwarding)`. VRF is a way to
separate networking contexts on the same machine. Those networking contexts are
associated with separate interfaces, thus making it possible to associate one
interface with a specific VRF.

VRF can be used, for example, when instantiating per enterprise networking
services, without having to instantiate the physical host machine or the
routing management daemons for each enterprise. As a result, interfaces are
separate for each set of VRF, and routing daemons can have their own context
for each VRF.

This conceptual view introduces the *Default VRF* case. If the user does not
configure any specific VRF, then by default, FRR uses the *Default VRF*. The
name "default" is used to refer to this VRF in various CLI commands and YANG
models. It is possible to change that name by passing the ``-o`` option to all
daemons, for example, one can use ``-o vrf0`` to change the name to "vrf0".
The easiest way to pass the same option to all daemons is to use the
``frr_global_options`` variable in the
:ref:`Daemons Configuration File <daemons-configuration-file>`.

Configuring VRF networking contexts can be done in various ways on FRR. The VRF
interfaces can be configured by entering in interface configuration mode
:clicmd:`interface IFNAME vrf VRF`.

A VRF backend mode is chosen when running *Zebra*.

If no option is chosen, then the *Linux VRF* implementation as references in
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt will be mapped over
the *Zebra* VRF. The routing table associated to that VRF is a Linux table
identifier located in the same *Linux network namespace* where *Zebra* started.
Please note when using the *Linux VRF* routing table it is expected that a
default Kernel route will be installed that has a metric as outlined in the
www.kernel.org doc above.  The Linux Kernel does table lookup via a combination
of rule application of the rule table and then route lookup of the specified
table.  If no route match is found then the next applicable rule is applied
to find the next route table to use to look for a route match.  As such if
your VRF table does not have a default blackhole route with a high metric
VRF route lookup will leave the table specified by the VRF, which is undesirable.

If the :option:`-n` option is chosen, then the *Linux network namespace* will
be mapped over the *Zebra* VRF. That implies that *Zebra* is able to configure
several *Linux network namespaces*.  The routing table associated to that VRF
is the whole routing tables located in that namespace. For instance, this mode
matches OpenStack Network Namespaces. It matches also OpenFastPath. The default
behavior remains Linux VRF which is supported by the Linux kernel community,
see https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt.

Because of that difference, there are some subtle differences when running some
commands in relationship to VRF. Here is an extract of some of those commands:

.. clicmd:: vrf VRF

   This command is available on configuration mode. By default, above command
   permits accessing the VRF configuration mode. This mode is available for
   both VRFs. It is to be noted that *Zebra* does not create Linux VRF.
   The network administrator can however decide to provision this command in
   configuration file to provide more clarity about the intended configuration.

.. clicmd:: netns NAMESPACE

   This command is based on VRF configuration mode. This command is available
   when *Zebra* is run in :option:`-n` mode. This command reflects which *Linux
   network namespace* is to be mapped with *Zebra* VRF. It is to be noted that
   *Zebra* creates and detects added/suppressed VRFs from the Linux environment
   (in fact, those managed with iproute2). The network administrator can however
   decide to provision this command in configuration file to provide more clarity
   about the intended configuration.

.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF

   The show command permits dumping the routing table associated to the VRF. If
   *Zebra* is launched with default settings, this will be the ``TABLENO`` of
   the VRF configured on the kernel, thanks to information provided in
   https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/vrf.txt. If *Zebra* is
   launched with :option:`-n` option, this will be the default routing table of
   the *Linux network namespace* ``VRF``.

.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF table TABLENO

   The show command is only available with :option:`-n` option. This command
   will dump the routing table ``TABLENO`` of the *Linux network namespace*
   ``VRF``.

.. clicmd:: show ip route vrf VRF tables

   This command will dump the routing tables within the vrf scope. If ``vrf all``
   is executed, all routing tables will be dumped.

.. clicmd:: show <ip|ipv6> route summary [vrf VRF] [table TABLENO] [prefix]

   This command will dump a summary output of the specified VRF and TABLENO
   combination.  If neither VRF or TABLENO is specified FRR defaults to
   the default vrf and default table.  If prefix is specified dump the
   number of prefix routes.

.. _zebra-table-allocation:

Table Allocation
================

Some services like BGP flowspec allocate routing tables to perform policy
routing based on netfilter criteria and IP rules. In order to avoid
conflicts between VRF allocated routing tables and those services, Zebra
proposes to define a chunk of routing tables to use by other services.

Allocation configuration can be done like below, with the range of the
chunk of routing tables to be used by the given service.

.. clicmd:: ip table range <STARTTABLENO> <ENDTABLENO>

.. _zebra-ecmp:

ECMP
====

FRR supports ECMP as part of normal operations and is generally compiled
with a limit of 64 way ECMP.  This of course can be modified via configure
options on compilation if the end operator desires to do so.  Individual
protocols each have their own way of dictating ECMP policy and their
respective documentation should be read.

ECMP can be inspected in zebra by doing a ``show ip route X`` command.

.. code-block:: shell

     *                    via 192.168.161.16, enp39s0, weight 1, 00:00:02

In this example we have 16 way ecmp for the 4.4.4.4/32 route.  The ``*`` character
tells us that the route is installed in the Data Plane, or FIB.

If you are using the Linux kernel as a Data Plane, this can be inspected
via a ``ip route show X`` command:

.. code-block:: shell

      nexthop via 192.168.161.5 dev enp39s0 weight 1
      nexthop via 192.168.161.6 dev enp39s0 weight 1
      nexthop via 192.168.161.7 dev enp39s0 weight 1
      nexthop via 192.168.161.8 dev enp39s0 weight 1
      nexthop via 192.168.161.9 dev enp39s0 weight 1

Once installed into the FIB, FRR currently has little control over what
nexthops are chosen to forward packets on.  Currently the Linux kernel
has a ``fib_multipath_hash_policy`` sysctl which dictates how the hashing
algorithm is used to forward packets.

.. _zebra-mpls:

MPLS Commands
=============

You can configure static mpls entries in zebra. Basically, handling MPLS
consists of popping, swapping or pushing labels to IP packets.

MPLS Acronyms
-------------

:abbr:`LSR (Labeled Switch Router)`
   Networking devices handling labels used to forward traffic between and through
   them.

:abbr:`LER (Labeled Edge Router)`
   A Labeled edge router is located at the edge of an MPLS network, generally
   between an IP network and an MPLS network.

MPLS Push Action
----------------

The push action is generally used for LER devices, which want to encapsulate
all traffic for a wished destination into an MPLS label. This action is stored
in routing entry, and can be configured like a route:

.. clicmd:: ip route NETWORK MASK GATEWAY|INTERFACE label LABEL

   NETWORK and MASK stand for the IP prefix entry to be added as static
   route entry.
   GATEWAY is the gateway IP address to reach, in order to reach the prefix.
   INTERFACE is the interface behind which the prefix is located.
   LABEL is the MPLS label to use to reach the prefix abovementioned.

   You can check that the static entry is stored in the zebra RIB database, by
   looking at the presence of the entry.

MPLS Swap and Pop Action
------------------------

The swap action is generally used for LSR devices, which swap a packet with a
label, with an other label. The Pop action is used on LER devices, at the
termination of the MPLS traffic; this is used to remove MPLS header.

.. clicmd:: mpls lsp INCOMING_LABEL GATEWAY OUTGOING_LABEL|explicit-null|implicit-null

   INCOMING_LABEL and OUTGOING_LABEL are MPLS labels with values ranging from 16
   to 1048575.
   GATEWAY is the gateway IP address where to send MPLS packet.
   The outgoing label can either be a value or have an explicit-null label header. This
   specific header can be read by IP devices. The incoming label can also be removed; in
   that case the implicit-null keyword is used, and the outgoing packet emitted is an IP
   packet without MPLS header.

You can check that the MPLS actions are stored in the zebra MPLS table, by looking at the
presence of the entry.

.. _zebra-srv6:

Segment-Routing IPv6
====================

Segment-Routing is source routing paradigm that allows
network operator to encode network intent into the packets.
SRv6 is an implementation of Segment-Routing
with application of IPv6 and segment-routing-header.

All routing daemon can use the Segment-Routing base
framework implemented on zebra to use SRv6 routing mechanism.
In that case, user must configure initial srv6 setting on
FRR's cli or frr.conf or zebra.conf. This section shows how
to configure SRv6 on FRR. Of course SRv6 can be used as standalone,
and this section also helps that case.

.. clicmd:: show segment-routing srv6 locator [json]

   This command dump SRv6-locator configured on zebra.  SRv6-locator is used
   to route to the node before performing the SRv6-function. and that works as
   aggregation of SRv6-function's IDs.  Following console log shows two
   SRv6-locators loc1 and loc2.  All locators are identified by unique IPv6
   prefix.  User can get that information as JSON string when ``json`` key word
   at the end of cli is presented.

::

   router# sh segment-routing srv6 locator
   Locator:
   Name                 ID      Prefix                   Status
   -------------------- ------- ------------------------ -------
   loc1                       1 2001:db8:1:1::/64        Up
   loc2                       2 2001:db8:2:2::/64        Up

.. clicmd:: show segment-routing srv6 locator NAME detail [json]

   As shown in the example, by specifying the name of the locator, you
   can see the detailed information for each locator.  Locator can be
   represented by a single IPv6 prefix, but SRv6 is designed to share this
   Locator among multiple Routing Protocols. For this purpose, zebra divides
   the IPv6 prefix block that makes the Locator unique into multiple chunks,
   and manages the ownership of each chunk.

   For example, loc1 has system as its owner. For example, loc1 is owned by
   system, which means that it is not yet proprietary to any routing protocol.
   For example, loc2 has sharp as its owner. This means that the shaprd for
   function development holds the owner of the chunk of this locator, and no
   other routing protocol will use this area.

::

   router# show segment-routing srv6 locator loc1 detail
   Name: loc1
   Prefix: 2001:db8:1:1::/64
   Chunks:
   - prefix: 2001:db8:1:1::/64, owner: system

   router# show segment-routing srv6 locator loc2 detail
   Name: loc2
   Prefix: 2001:db8:2:2::/64
   Chunks:
   - prefix: 2001:db8:2:2::/64, owner: sharp

.. clicmd:: segment-routing

   Move from configure mode to segment-routing node.

.. clicmd:: srv6

   Move from segment-routing node to srv6 node.

.. clicmd:: locators

   Move from srv6 node to locator node. In this locator node, user can
   configure detailed settings such as the actual srv6 locator.

.. clicmd:: locator NAME

   Create a new locator. If the name of an existing locator is specified,
   move to specified locator's configuration node to change the settings it.

.. clicmd:: prefix X:X::X:X/M [func-bits 32]

   Set the ipv6 prefix block of the locator. SRv6 locator is defined by
   RFC8986. The actual routing protocol specifies the locator and allocates a
   SID to be used by each routing protocol. This SID is included in the locator
   as an IPv6 prefix.

   Following example console log shows the typical configuration of SRv6
   data-plane. After a new SRv6 locator, named loc1, is created, loc1's prefix
   is configured as ``2001:db8:1:1::/64``.  If user or some routing daemon
   allocates new SID on this locator, new SID will allocated in range of this
   prefix. For example, if some routing daemon creates new SID on locator
   (``2001:db8:1:1::/64``), Then new SID will be ``2001:db8:1:1:7::/80``,
   ``2001:db8:1:1:8::/80``, and so on.  Each locator has default SID that is
   SRv6 local function "End".  Usually default SID is allocated as
   ``PREFIX:1::``.  (``PREFIX`` is locator's prefix) For example, if user
   configure the locator's prefix as ``2001:db8:1:1::/64``, then default SID
   will be ``2001:db8:1:1:1::``)

   The function bits range is 16bits by default.  If operator want to change
   function bits range, they can configure with ``func-bits``
   option.

.. _multicast-rib-commands:

Multicast RIB Commands
======================

The Multicast RIB provides a separate table of unicast destinations which
is used for Multicast Reverse Path Forwarding decisions. It is used with
a multicast source's IP address, hence contains not multicast group
addresses but unicast addresses.

This table is fully separate from the default unicast table. However,
RPF lookup can include the unicast table.

WARNING: RPF lookup results are non-responsive in this version of FRR,
i.e. multicast routing does not actively react to changes in underlying
unicast topology!

.. clicmd:: ip multicast rpf-lookup-mode MODE


   MODE sets the method used to perform RPF lookups. Supported modes:

   urib-only
      Performs the lookup on the Unicast RIB. The Multicast RIB is never used.

   mrib-only
      Performs the lookup on the Multicast RIB. The Unicast RIB is never used.

   mrib-then-urib
      Tries to perform the lookup on the Multicast RIB. If any route is found,
      that route is used. Otherwise, the Unicast RIB is tried.

   lower-distance
      Performs a lookup on the Multicast RIB and Unicast RIB each. The result
      with the lower administrative distance is used;  if they're equal, the
      Multicast RIB takes precedence.

   longer-prefix
      Performs a lookup on the Multicast RIB and Unicast RIB each. The result
      with the longer prefix length is used;  if they're equal, the
      Multicast RIB takes precedence.

      The ``mrib-then-urib`` setting is the default behavior if nothing is
      configured. If this is the desired behavior, it should be explicitly
      configured to make the configuration immune against possible changes in
      what the default behavior is.

.. warning::

   Unreachable routes do not receive special treatment and do not cause
   fallback to a second lookup.

.. clicmd:: show ip rpf ADDR

   Performs a Multicast RPF lookup, as configured with ``ip multicast
   rpf-lookup-mode MODE``. ADDR specifies the multicast source address to look
   up.

   ::

      > show ip rpf 192.0.2.1
      Routing entry for 192.0.2.0/24 using Unicast RIB

      Known via "kernel", distance 0, metric 0, best
      * 198.51.100.1, via eth0


   Indicates that a multicast source lookup for 192.0.2.1 would use an
   Unicast RIB entry for 192.0.2.0/24 with a gateway of 198.51.100.1.

.. clicmd:: show ip rpf

   Prints the entire Multicast RIB. Note that this is independent of the
   configured RPF lookup mode, the Multicast RIB may be printed yet not
   used at all.

.. clicmd:: ip mroute PREFIX NEXTHOP [DISTANCE]


   Adds a static route entry to the Multicast RIB. This performs exactly as the
   ``ip route`` command, except that it inserts the route in the Multicast RIB
   instead of the Unicast RIB.

.. _zebra-route-filtering:

zebra Route Filtering
=====================

Zebra supports :dfn:`prefix-list` s and :ref:`route-map` s to match routes
received from other FRR components. The permit/deny facilities provided by
these commands can be used to filter which routes zebra will install in the
kernel.

.. clicmd:: ip protocol PROTOCOL route-map ROUTEMAP

   Apply a route-map filter to routes for the specified protocol. PROTOCOL can
   be:

   - any,
   - babel,
   - bgp,
   - connected,
   - eigrp,
   - isis,
   - kernel,
   - nhrp,
   - openfabric,
   - ospf,
   - ospf6,
   - rip,
   - sharp,
   - static,
   - ripng,
   - table,
   - vnc.

   If you choose any as the option that will cause all protocols that are sending
   routes to zebra.  You can specify a :dfn:`ip protocol PROTOCOL route-map ROUTEMAP`
   on a per vrf basis, by entering this command under vrf mode for the vrf you
   want to apply the route-map against.

.. clicmd:: set src ADDRESS

   Within a route-map, set the preferred source address for matching routes
   when installing in the kernel.


The following creates a prefix-list that matches all addresses, a route-map
that sets the preferred source address, and applies the route-map to all
*rip* routes.

.. code-block:: frr

   ip prefix-list ANY permit 0.0.0.0/0 le 32
   route-map RM1 permit 10
     match ip address prefix-list ANY
     set src 10.0.0.1

   ip protocol rip route-map RM1

IPv6 example for OSPFv3.

.. code-block:: frr

   ipv6 prefix-list ANY seq 10 permit any
   route-map RM6 permit 10
     match ipv6 address prefix-list ANY
     set src 2001:db8:425:1000::3

   ipv6 protocol ospf6 route-map RM6


.. note::

   For both IPv4 and IPv6, the IP address has to exist on some interface when
   the route is getting installed into the system. Otherwise, kernel rejects
   the route. To solve the problem of disappearing IPv6 addresses when the
   interface goes down, use ``net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down``
   :ref:`sysctl option <zebra-sysctl>`.

.. clicmd:: zebra route-map delay-timer (0-600)

   Set the delay before any route-maps are processed in zebra.  The
   default time for this is 5 seconds.

.. _zebra-fib-push-interface:

zebra FIB push interface
========================

Zebra supports a 'FIB push' interface that allows an external
component to learn the forwarding information computed by the FRR
routing suite. This is a loadable module that needs to be enabled
at startup as described in :ref:`loadable-module-support`.

In FRR, the Routing Information Base (RIB) resides inside
zebra. Routing protocols communicate their best routes to zebra, and
zebra computes the best route across protocols for each prefix. This
latter information makes up the Forwarding Information Base
(FIB). Zebra feeds the FIB to the kernel, which allows the IP stack in
the kernel to forward packets according to the routes computed by
FRR. The kernel FIB is updated in an OS-specific way. For example,
the ``Netlink`` interface is used on Linux, and route sockets are
used on FreeBSD.

The FIB push interface aims to provide a cross-platform mechanism to
support scenarios where the router has a forwarding path that is
distinct from the kernel, commonly a hardware-based fast path. In
these cases, the FIB needs to be maintained reliably in the fast path
as well. We refer to the component that programs the forwarding plane
(directly or indirectly) as the Forwarding Plane Manager or FPM.

.. program:: configure

The relevant zebra code kicks in when zebra is configured with the
:option:`--enable-fpm` flag and started with the module (``-M fpm``
or ``-M dplane_fpm_nl``).

.. note::

   The ``fpm`` implementation attempts to connect to ``127.0.0.1`` port ``2620``
   by default without configurations. The ``dplane_fpm_nl`` only attempts to
   connect to a server if configured.

Zebra periodically attempts to connect to the well-known FPM port (``2620``).
Once the connection is up, zebra starts sending messages containing routes
over the socket to the FPM. Zebra sends a complete copy of the forwarding
table to the FPM, including routes that it may have picked up from the kernel.
The existing interaction of zebra with the kernel remains unchanged -- that
is, the kernel continues to receive FIB updates as before.

The default FPM message format is netlink, however it can be controlled
with the module load-time option. The modules accept the following options:

- ``fpm``: ``netlink`` and ``protobuf``.
- ``dplane_fpm_nl``: none, it only implements netlink.

The zebra FPM interface uses replace semantics. That is, if a 'route
add' message for a prefix is followed by another 'route add' message,
the information in the second message is complete by itself, and
replaces the information sent in the first message.

If the connection to the FPM goes down for some reason, zebra sends
the FPM a complete copy of the forwarding table(s) when it reconnects.

For more details on the implementation, please read the developer's manual FPM
section.

.. _zebra-dplane:

Dataplane Commands
==================

The zebra dataplane subsystem provides a framework for FIB
programming. Zebra uses the dataplane to program the local kernel as
it makes changes to objects such as IP routes, MPLS LSPs, and
interface IP addresses. The dataplane runs in its own pthread, in
order to off-load work from the main zebra pthread.


.. clicmd:: show zebra dplane [detailed]

   Display statistics about the updates and events passing through the
   dataplane subsystem.


.. clicmd:: show zebra dplane providers

   Display information about the running dataplane plugins that are
   providing updates to a FIB. By default, the local kernel plugin is
   present.


.. clicmd:: zebra dplane limit [NUMBER]

   Configure the limit on the number of pending updates that are
   waiting to be processed by the dataplane pthread.


DPDK dataplane
==============

The zebra DPDK subsystem programs the dataplane via rte_XXX APIs.
This module needs be compiled in via "--enable-dp-dpdk=yes"
and enabled at start up time via the zebra daemon option "-M dplane_dpdk".

To program the PBR rules as rte_flows you additionally need to configure
"pbr nexthop-resolve". This is used to expland the PBR actions into the
{SMAC, DMAC, outgoing port} needed by rte_flow.


.. clicmd:: show dplane dpdk port [detail]

.. clicmd:: show ipv6 route

.. clicmd:: show [ip|ipv6] route [PREFIX] [nexthop-group]

   Display detailed information about a route. If [nexthop-group] is
   included, it will display the nexthop group ID the route is using as well.

.. clicmd:: show interface [NAME] [{vrf VRF|brief}] [json]

.. clicmd:: show interface [NAME] [{vrf all|brief}] [json]

.. clicmd:: show interface [NAME] [{vrf VRF|brief}] [nexthop-group]

.. clicmd:: show interface [NAME] [{vrf all|brief}] [nexthop-group]

   Display interface information. If no extra information is added, it will
   dump information on all interfaces. If [NAME] is specified, it will display
   detailed information about that single interface. If [nexthop-group] is
   specified, it will display nexthop groups pointing out that interface.

   If the ``json`` option is specified, output is displayed in JSON format.

.. clicmd:: show ip prefix-list [NAME]

.. clicmd:: show route-map [NAME]

.. clicmd:: show ip protocol

.. clicmd:: show ip forward

   Display whether the host's IP forwarding function is enabled or not.
   Almost any UNIX kernel can be configured with IP forwarding disabled.
   If so, the box can't work as a router.

.. clicmd:: show ipv6 forward

   Display whether the host's IP v6 forwarding is enabled or not.

.. clicmd:: show ip neigh

   Display the ip neighbor table

.. clicmd:: show pbr rule

   Display the pbr rule table with resolved nexthops

.. clicmd:: show zebra

   Display various statistics related to the installation and deletion
   of routes, neighbor updates, and LSP's into the kernel.  In addition
   show various zebra state that is useful when debugging an operator's
   setup.

.. clicmd:: show zebra client [summary]

   Display statistics about clients that are connected to zebra.  This is
   useful for debugging and seeing how much data is being passed between
   zebra and it's clients.  If the summary form of the command is chosen
   a table is displayed with shortened information.

.. clicmd:: show zebra router table summary

   Display summarized data about tables created, their afi/safi/tableid
   and how many routes each table contains.  Please note this is the
   total number of route nodes in the table.  Which will be higher than
   the actual number of routes that are held.

.. clicmd:: show nexthop-group rib [ID] [vrf NAME] [singleton [ip|ip6]] [type]

   Display nexthop groups created by zebra.  The [vrf NAME] option
   is only meaningful if you have started zebra with the --vrfwnetns
   option as that nexthop groups are per namespace in linux.
   If you specify singleton you would like to see the singleton
   nexthop groups that do have an afi. [type] allows you to filter those
   only coming from a specific NHG type (protocol).

.. clicmd:: show <ip|ipv6> zebra route dump [<vrf> VRFNAME]

   It dumps all the routes from RIB with detailed information including
   internal flags, status etc. This is defined as a hidden command.


Router-id
=========

Many routing protocols require a router-id to be configured. To have a
consistent router-id across all daemons, the following commands are available
to configure and display the router-id:

.. clicmd:: [ip] router-id A.B.C.D

   Allow entering of the router-id.  This command also works under the
   vrf subnode, to allow router-id's per vrf.

.. clicmd:: [ip] router-id A.B.C.D vrf NAME

   Configure the router-id of this router from the configure NODE.
   A show run of this command will display the router-id command
   under the vrf sub node.  This command is deprecated and will
   be removed at some point in time in the future.

.. clicmd:: show [ip] router-id [vrf NAME]

   Display the user configured router-id.

For protocols requiring an IPv6 router-id, the following commands are available:

.. clicmd:: ipv6 router-id X:X::X:X

   Configure the IPv6 router-id of this router. Like its IPv4 counterpart,
   this command works under the vrf subnode, to allow router-id's per vrf.

.. clicmd:: show ipv6 router-id [vrf NAME]

   Display the user configured IPv6 router-id.

.. _zebra-sysctl:

sysctl settings
===============

The linux kernel has a variety of sysctl's that affect it's operation as a router.  This
section is meant to act as a starting point for those sysctl's that must be used in
order to provide FRR with smooth operation as a router.  This section is not meant
as the full documentation for sysctl's.  The operator must use the sysctl documentation
with the linux kernel for that. The following link has helpful references to many relevant
sysctl values:  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt

Expected sysctl settings
------------------------

.. option:: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1

   This global option allows the linux kernel to forward (route) ipv4 packets incoming from one
   interface to an outgoing interface. If this is set to 0, the system will not route transit
   ipv4 packets, i.e. packets that are not sent to/from a process running on the local system.

.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.forwarding = 1

   The linux kernel can selectively enable forwarding (routing) of ipv4 packets on a per
   interface basis. The forwarding check in the kernel dataplane occurs against the ingress
   Layer 3 interface, i.e. if the ingress L3 interface has forwarding set to 0, packets will not
   be routed.

.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.forwarding = 1

   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to forward (route) transit ipv6 packets
   i.e. incoming from one Layer 3 interface to an outgoing Layer 3 interface.
   The forwarding check in the kernel dataplane occurs against the ingress Layer 3 interface,
   i.e. if the ingress L3 interface has forwarding set to 0, packets will not be routed.

.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.all.keep_addr_on_down = 1

   When an interface is taken down, do not remove the v6 addresses associated with the interface.
   This option is recommended because this is the default behavior for v4 as well.

.. option:: net.ipv6.route.skip_notify_on_dev_down = 1

   When an interface is taken down, the linux kernel will not notify, via netlink, about routes
   that used that interface being removed from the FIB.  This option is recommended because this
   is the default behavior for v4 as well.

Optional sysctl settings
------------------------

.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.bc_forwarding = 0

   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to optionally allow Directed Broadcast
   (i.e. Routed Broadcast or Subnet Broadcast) packets to be routed onto the connected network
   segment where the subnet exists.
   If the local router receives a routed packet destined for a broadcast address of a connected
   subnet, setting bc_forwarding to 1 on the interface with the target subnet assigned to it will
   allow non locally-generated packets to be routed via the broadcast route.
   If bc_forwarding is set to 0, routed packets destined for a broadcast route will be dropped.
   e.g.
   Host1 (SIP:192.0.2.10, DIP:10.0.0.255) -> (eth0:192.0.2.1/24) Router1 (eth1:10.0.0.1/24) -> BC
   If net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.bc_forwarding=1, then Router1 will forward each
   packet destined to 10.0.0.255 onto the eth1 interface with a broadcast DMAC (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff).

.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.arp_accept = 1

   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to optionally skip the creation of ARP
   entries upon the receipt of a Gratuitous ARP (GARP) frame carrying an IP that is not already
   present in the ARP cache. Setting arp_accept to 0 on an interface will ensure NEW ARP entries
   are not created due to the arrival of a GARP frame.
   Note: This does not impact how the kernel reacts to GARP frames that carry a "known" IP
   (that is already in the ARP cache) -- an existing ARP entry will always be updated
   when a GARP for that IP is received.

.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.arp_ignore = 0

   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to control what conditions must be met in
   order for an ARP reply to be sent in response to an ARP request targeting a local IP address.
   When arp_ignore is set to 0, the kernel will send ARP replies in response to any ARP Request
   with a Target-IP matching a local address.
   When arp_ignore is set to 1, the kernel will send ARP replies if the Target-IP in the ARP
   Request matches an IP address on the interface the Request arrived at.
   When arp_ignore is set to 2, the kernel will send ARP replies only if the Target-IP matches an
   IP address on the interface where the Request arrived AND the Sender-IP falls within the subnet
   assigned to the local IP/interface.

.. option:: net.ipv4.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.arp_notify = 1

   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to decide whether to send a Gratuitious ARP
   (GARP) frame when the Layer 3 interface comes UP.
   When arp_notify is set to 0, no GARP is sent.
   When arp_notify is set to 1, a GARP is sent when the interface comes UP.

.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.{all,default,<interface>}.ndisc_notify = 1

   This per interface option allows the linux kernel to decide whether to send an Unsolicited
   Neighbor Advertisement (U-NA) frame when the Layer 3 interface comes UP.
   When ndisc_notify is set to 0, no U-NA is sent.
   When ndisc_notify is set to 1, a U-NA is sent when the interface comes UP.

Useful sysctl settings
----------------------

.. option:: net.ipv6.conf.all.use_oif_addrs_only = 1

   When enabled, the candidate source addresses for destinations routed via this interface are
   restricted to the set of addresses configured on this interface (RFC 6724 section 4).  If
   an operator has hundreds of IP addresses per interface this solves the latency problem.
