About:
GNU Zebra manages IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. It supports BGP-4 protocol as described in RFC1771 (A Border Gateway Protocol 4) and BGP-4+, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, OSPFv2 and OSPFv3. GNU Zebra has a good client interface, so the user can change configuration dynamically.

Release focus: Major bugfixes

Changes:
A significant number of bugfixes were made in all daemons. BGP TCP MD5 support was added on Linux and OpenBSD. Net-SNMP is now supported in addition to UCD-SNMP. More-line support was added (using the Enter key in More mode) along with OSPFv3 Area support (not yet for virtual-link).

[»] OSPF doesn't work in my environment
by Shaman - Apr 26th 2000 14:48:43

I have Ascend Max units, talking to Cisco routers, and also 3Com routers (legacy).

OSPF logs are full of:

2000/04/26 14:47:02 OSPF: interface elxl0: ospf_read packet buffer overflow. ip_len 11264 if MTU 1500 from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

[»] Zebra Configuration
by James Willard - Sep 14th 1999 12:36:33

The configuration is very similar to that of a Cisco router. Reading online Cisco documentation should be able to get you up and running with Zebra.

[»] Any Simple HOWTO on initial configuration?

Does anyone know of a HOWTO or something to get me started with Zebra. I just don't know where to start.
