FRR is a fork of Quagga +which itself is a fork of Zebra. +Zebra was developed by Kunihiro Ishiguro. + + +* Build Profiles used in the upstream debian/ +============================================= + +The following Build Profiles have been added: + +- pkg.frr.nortrlib (pkg.frr.rtrlib) + controls whether the RPKI module is built. + Will be enabled by default at some point, adds some extra dependencies. + +Note that all options have a "no" form; if you want to have your decision +be sticky regardless of changes to what it defaults to, then always use one +of the two. For example, all occurrences of <pkg.frr.rtrlib> will at some +point be replaced with <!pkg.frr.nortrlib>. + +The main frr package has the exact same contents regardless of rtrlib or snmp +choices. The options only control frr-snmp and frr-rpki-rtrlib packages. + + +* Debian Policy compliance notes +================================ + +- 4.15 Reproducibility + FRR build is reproducible as outlined in version 4.2.1 of the Policy, but + won't be reproducible when the build directory is varied. This is because + configure parameters are burned into the executables which includes CFLAGS + like -fdebug-prefix-map=/build/directory/... + + +* Daemon selection: +=================== + +The Debian package uses /etc/frr/daemons to tell the +initscript which daemons to start. It's in the format +<daemon>=<yes|no|priority> +with no spaces (it's simply source-d into the initscript). +Default is not to start anything, since it can hose your +system's routing table if not set up properly. + +Priorities were suggested by Dancer <dancer@zeor.simegen.com>. +They're used to start the FRR daemons in more than one step +(for example start one or two at network initialization and the +rest later). The number of FRR daemons being small, priorities +must be between 1 and 9, inclusive (or the initscript has to be +changed). /etc/init.d/frr then can be started as + +/etc/init.d/frr <start|stop|restart|<priority>> + +where priority 0 is the same as 'stop', priority 10 or 'start' +means 'start all' + + +* Error message "privs_init: initial cap_set_proc failed": +========================================================== + +This error message means that "capability support" has to be built +into the kernel. + + +* Error message "netlink-listen: overrun: No buffer space available": +===================================================================== + +If this message occurs the receive buffer should be increased by adding the +following to /etc/sysctl.conf and "--nl-bufsize" to /etc/frr/daemons. +> net.core.rmem_default = 262144 +> net.core.rmem_max = 262144 +See message #4525 from 2005-05-09 in the quagga-users mailing list. + + +* vtysh immediately exists: +=========================== + +Check /etc/pam.d/frr, it probably denies access to your user. The passwords +configured in /etc/frr/frr.conf are only for telnet access. + + + -- Ondřej Surý <Ondřej Surý <ondrej@debian.org>>, Fri, 3 Jul 2020 12:39:42 +0200 |
