Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ================ This document describes installation from source. If you want to build a ``deb``, see :ref:`packaging-debian`. Installing Dependencies ----------------------- .. code-block:: console sudo apt update sudo apt-get install \ git autoconf automake libtool make libreadline-dev texinfo \ pkg-config libpam0g-dev libjson-c-dev bison flex \ libc-ares-dev python3-dev python3-sphinx \ install-info build-essential libsnmp-dev perl \ libcap-dev python2 libelf-dev libunwind-dev \ libyang2 libyang2-dev .. include:: building-libunwind-note.rst Note that Ubuntu >= 20 no longer installs python 2.x, so it must be installed explicitly. Ensure that your system has a symlink named ``/usr/bin/python`` pointing at ``/usr/bin/python3``. .. code-block:: shell sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python python --version In addition, ``pip`` for python2 must be installed if you wish to run the FRR topotests. That version of ``pip`` is not available from the ubuntu apt repositories; in order to install it: .. code-block:: shell curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/pip/2.7/get-pip.py --output get-pip.py sudo python2 ./get-pip.py # And verify the installation pip2 --version Protobuf ^^^^^^^^ This is optional .. code-block:: console sudo apt-get install protobuf-c-compiler libprotobuf-c-dev Config Rollbacks ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If config rollbacks are enabled using ``--enable-config-rollbacks`` the sqlite3 developer package also should be installed. .. code-block:: console sudo apt install libsqlite3-dev ZeroMQ ^^^^^^ This is optional .. code-block:: console sudo apt-get install libzmq5 libzmq3-dev Building & Installing FRR ------------------------- Add FRR user and groups ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console sudo groupadd -r -g 92 frr sudo groupadd -r -g 85 frrvty sudo adduser --system --ingroup frr --home /var/run/frr/ \ --gecos "FRR suite" --shell /sbin/nologin frr sudo usermod -a -G frrvty frr Compile ^^^^^^^ .. include:: include-compile.rst Install FRR configuration files ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frr -d /var/log/frr sudo install -m 775 -o frr -g frrvty -d /etc/frr sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frrvty tools/etc/frr/vtysh.conf /etc/frr/vtysh.conf sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/frr.conf /etc/frr/frr.conf sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons.conf /etc/frr/daemons.conf sudo install -m 640 -o frr -g frr tools/etc/frr/daemons /etc/frr/daemons Tweak sysctls ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Some sysctls need to be changed in order to enable IPv4/IPv6 forwarding and MPLS (if supported by your platform). If your platform does not support MPLS, skip the MPLS related configuration in this section. Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and uncomment the following values (ignore the other settings): :: # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv4 net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 # Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for IPv6 # Enabling this option disables Stateless Address Autoconfiguration # based on Router Advertisements for this host net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 Reboot or use ``sysctl -p`` to apply the same config to the running system. Add MPLS kernel modules """"""""""""""""""""""" Ubuntu 20.04 ships with kernel 5.4; MPLS modules are present by default. To enable, add the following lines to :file:`/etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf`: :: # Load MPLS Kernel Modules mpls_router mpls_iptunnel And load the kernel modules on the running system: .. code-block:: console sudo modprobe mpls-router mpls-iptunnel If the above command returns an error, you may need to install the appropriate or latest linux-modules-extra--generic package. For example ``apt-get install linux-modules-extra-`uname -r`-generic`` Enable MPLS Forwarding """""""""""""""""""""" Edit :file:`/etc/sysctl.conf` and the following lines. Make sure to add a line equal to :file:`net.mpls.conf.eth0.input` for each interface used with MPLS. :: # Enable MPLS Label processing on all interfaces net.mpls.conf.eth0.input=1 net.mpls.conf.eth1.input=1 net.mpls.conf.eth2.input=1 net.mpls.platform_labels=100000 Install service files ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console sudo install -m 644 tools/frr.service /etc/systemd/system/frr.service sudo systemctl enable frr Enable daemons ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Open :file:`/etc/frr/daemons` with your text editor of choice. Look for the section with ``watchfrr_enable=...`` and ``zebra=...`` etc. Enable the daemons as required by changing the value to ``yes``. Start FRR ^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: shell systemctl start frr
