   1 Building FRR on FreeBSD 9 from Git Source
   2 =========================================
   3
   4 FreeBSD 9 restrictions:
   5 -----------------------
   6
   7 - MPLS is not supported on `FreeBSD`. MPLS requires a Linux Kernel
   8   (4.5 or higher). LDP can be built, but may have limited use
   9   without MPLS
  10
  11 Install required packages
  12 -------------------------
  13
  14 Add packages:
  15 (Allow the install of the package managment tool if this is first package
  16 install and asked)
  17
  18     pkg install -y git autoconf automake libtool gmake gawk \
  19         pkgconf texinfo json-c bison flex py27-pytest
  20
  21 Make sure there is no /usr/bin/flex preinstalled (and use the newly
  22 installed in /usr/local/bin):
  23 (FreeBSD frequently provides a older flex as part of the base OS which
  24 takes preference in path)
  25
  26     rm -f /usr/bin/flex
  27
  28 Get FRR, compile it and install it (from Git)
  29 ---------------------------------------------
  30
  31 **This assumes you want to build and install FRR from source and not
  32 using any packages**
  33
  34 ### Add frr group and user
  35
  36     pw groupadd frr -g 101
  37     pw groupadd frrvty -g 102
  38     pw adduser frr -g 101 -u 101 -G 102 -c "FRR suite" \
  39         -d /usr/local/etc/frr -s /usr/sbin/nologin
  40
  41 (You may prefer different options on configure statement. These are just
  42 an example)
  43
  44     git clone https://github.com/freerangerouting/frr.git frr
  45     cd frr
  46     git checkout stable/2.0
  47     ./bootstrap.sh
  48     export MAKE=gmake
  49     export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
  50     export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
  51     ./configure \
  52         --sysconfdir=/usr/local/etc/frr \
  53         --enable-pkgsrcrcdir=/usr/pkg/share/examples/rc.d \
  54         --localstatedir=/var/run/frr \
  55         --prefix=/usr/local \
  56         --enable-ospfclient=yes \
  57         --enable-ospfapi=yes \
  58         --enable-multipath=64 \
  59         --enable-user=frr \
  60         --enable-group=frr \
  61         --enable-vty-group=frrvty \
  62         --enable-configfile-mask=0640 \
  63         --enable-logfile-mask=0640 \
  64         --enable-rtadv \
  65         --enable-tcp-zebra \
  66         --enable-fpm \
  67         --with-pkg-git-version \
  68         --with-pkg-extra-version=-MyOwnFRRVersion
  69     gmake
  70     gmake check
  71     sudo gmake install
  72
  73 ### Create empty FRR configuration files
  74     sudo mkdir /usr/local/etc/frr
  75     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/zebra.conf
  76     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/bgpd.conf
  77     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ospfd.conf
  78     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ospf6d.conf
  79     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/isisd.conf
  80     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ripd.conf
  81     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/ripngd.conf
  82     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/pimd.conf
  83     sudo chown -R frr:frr /usr/local/etc/frr
  84     sudo touch /usr/local/etc/frr/vtysh.conf
  85     sudo chown frr:frrvty /usr/local/etc/frr/vtysh.conf
  86     sudo chmod 640 /usr/local/etc/frr/*.conf
  87
  88 ### Enable IP & IPv6 forwarding
  89
  90 Add the following lines to the end of `/etc/sysctl.conf`:
  91
  92     # Routing: We need to forward packets
  93     net.inet.ip.forwarding=1
  94     net.inet6.ip6.forwarding=1
  95
  96 **Reboot** or use `sysctl` to apply the same config to the running system
