I have been working out how to have my server setup with OSPF routing.
I have no operational experience of OSPF nor FRR. I do what you're doing
but with BIRD, BGP and ECMP. I think you'll probably need to ask
questions on some FRR support forum as this is likely beyond most of us
on debian-user.
Some comments though:
Can anyone think of anything I might have missed?
### Create and configure the dummy interface
sudo touch /etc/network/interfaces.d/ospf.cfg
sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces.d/ospf.cfg
In an earlier post you said you use NetworkManager but you continue to
use ifupdown config files. Did you in fact mean to say that you are
using ifupdown?
That won't be an issue - I use ifupdown myself in the place I do
BGP/ECMP. But you'll want to be clear when asking for help.
### Add Default Gateway routes
route add -net default gw 10.1.1.1 metric 1024 dev eth0
route add -net default gw 10.1.1.5 metric 1024 dev eth1
# NOTE: I am not sure if the above commands will be persistent.
They won't. Why aren't they in the same ifupdown interfaces file as the
place you defined the interface, so they get added/removed when the
interface is brought up/down?
### sysctl.d config file
sudo touch /etc/sysctl.d/ipforward
sudo vim /etc/sysctl.d/ipforward
net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
Files in /etc/sysctl.d need to have an extension of .conf as per /etc/sysctl.d/README.sysctl and "man sysctl.d". Your file above is not
going to be acted upon.
If things don't work out with FRR I'd say try BIRD. Its support mailing
list is reasonably active.
Thanks,
Andy
