Ubuntu 18.04 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 gawk libreadline-dev texinfo \ pkg-config libpam0g-dev libjson-c-dev bison flex python-pytest \ libc-ares-dev python3-dev libsystemd-dev python-ipaddress python3-sphinx \ install-info build-essential libsystemd-dev libsnmp-dev perl .. include:: building-libyang.rst Protobuf ^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console sudo apt-get install protobuf-c-compiler libprotobuf-c-dev ZeroMQ ^^^^^^ .. 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 18.04 ships with kernel 4.15. 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 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
