Starting the OSPF Daemon
The OSPF daemon (ospfd) is used to configure Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing.
sudo systemctl start ospfd
Starting the BGP Daemon
The BGP daemon (bgpd) configures Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing.
sudo systemctl start bgpd
Configuring OSPF
To configure OSPF, the `ospfd.conf` file needs to be modified. This file is usually located in `/etc/quagga/ospfd.conf`.
Basic OSPF Configuration
A simple OSPF configuration might look like the following:
router ospf network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0 network 10.0.0.0/24 area 0.0.0.0
This configures OSPF to advertise the `192.168.1.0/24` and `10.0.0.0/24` networks in OSPF area 0.
Adding a Router ID
The router ID is a unique identifier for OSPF. It can be specified like this:
router ospf router-id 1.1.1.1
Configuring OSPF Passive Interfaces
To prevent OSPF from sending hello packets on certain interfaces, use the `passive-interface` command:
router ospf passive-interface eth0
Configuring OSPF Authentication
To configure authentication for OSPF, the following can be added:
router ospf area 0.0.0.0 authentication message-digest area 0.0.0.0 authentication-key mysecretkey
Configuring BGP
To configure BGP, the `bgpd.conf` file needs to be edited, usually located in `/etc/quagga/bgpd.conf`.
Basic BGP Configuration
A basic BGP configuration for peering with a neighbor looks like:
router bgp 65001 neighbor 192.168.1.2 remote-as 65002 network 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0
This example sets up a BGP session with a neighbor `192.168.1.2` in AS 65002 and advertises the `192.168.1.0/24` network.
Configuring BGP Route Reflectors
To set up a BGP route reflector, the following configuration can be used:
router bgp 65001 neighbor 192.168.2.2 route-reflector-client
This will configure the neighbor `192.168.2.2` as a route reflector client.
Configuring BGP Aggregation
To aggregate BGP prefixes into a summary network, the following configuration can be used:
router bgp 65001 aggregate-address 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0 summary-only
This aggregates the `192.168.0.0/16` network and only advertises the summary.
Verifying Configuration
Once the configuration is in place, it's important to verify that the protocols are running as expected.
Verifying OSPF Status
Use the following command to verify OSPF neighbors:
vtysh -c "show ip ospf neighbor"
Verifying BGP Status
To check BGP status and routes, use the following:
vtysh -c "show ip bgp summary"
Verifying Routes
To verify the routing table:
vtysh -c "show ip route"
