FreeBSD 10 ========================================== FreeBSD 10 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 git autoconf automake libtool gmake json-c pkgconf \ bison flex py36-pytest c-ares python3.6 py36-sphinx libunwind \ protobuf-c .. include:: building-libunwind-note.rst 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) .. include:: building-libyang.rst :: rm -f /usr/bin/flex 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.
