Building FRR on FreeBSD 10 from Git Source ========================================== 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 managment tool if this is first package install and asked) pkg install git autoconf automake libtool gmake gawk json-c pkgconf \ bison flex py27-pytest 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 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/freerangerouting/frr.git frr cd frr git checkout stable/2.0 ./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-ospfclient=yes \ --enable-ospfapi=yes \ --enable-multipath=64 \ --enable-user=frr \ --enable-group=frr \ --enable-vty-group=frrvty \ --enable-configfile-mask=0640 \ --enable-logfile-mask=0640 \ --enable-rtadv \ --enable-tcp-zebra \ --enable-fpm \ --with-pkg-git-version \ --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyOwnFRRVersion gmake gmake check sudo gmake install ### Create empty FRR configuration files sudo mkdir /usr/local/etc/frr sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/zebra.conf sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/bgpd.conf sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ospfd.conf sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ospf6d.conf sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/isisd.conf sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ripd.conf sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ripngd.conf sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/pimd.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
