Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ================ This document describes installation from source. If you want to build a ``deb``, see :ref:`packaging-debian`. Installing Dependencies ----------------------- .. code-block:: console apt-get update apt-get install \ git autoconf automake libtool make libreadline-dev texinfo \ pkg-config libpam0g-dev libjson-c-dev bison flex python3-pytest \ libc-ares-dev python3-dev python3-sphinx install-info build-essential \ libsnmp-dev perl libcap-dev libelf-dev .. include:: building-libyang.rst 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 """"""""""""""""""""""" .. warning:: MPLS is not supported on Ubuntu 14.04 with the default kernel. MPLS requires kernel 4.5 or higher. LDPD can be built, but may have limited use without MPLS. For an updated Ubuntu Kernel, see http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ 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 the init.d service ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console sudo install -m 755 tools/frr /etc/init.d/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 the init.d service ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ .. code-block:: console /etc/init.d/frr start Use ``/etc/init.d/frr status`` to check its status.
