The latest version of Zebra installation and configuration is version 0.94. This is the latest version of Zebra after the first modified version of Quagga is released. My compiling and running environment is Redhat Linux 7.3, and the kernel is 2.4.20-8. You can download the latest version (www.zebra.org) from the Zebra homepage ). The installation process is as follows: Decompress: # tar zxvf zebra-0.94.tar.gz to enter the extract directory to start compilation, installation :#. /configure # make installmake install after successful, the executable files are stored in the/usr/local/sbin/path, and the sample configuration files are stored in the/usr/local/etc path: # ls/usr/local/sbin/bgpd ospf6d ospfd ripd ripngd zebra # ll/usr/local/etc-rw ------- 1 root 572 Jun 14 :07 bgpd. conf. sample-rw ------- 1 root 2801 Jun 14 :07 bgpd. conf. sample2-rw ------- 1 root 1170 Jun 14 :07 ospf6 D. conf. sample-rw ------- 1 root 180 Jun 14 :07 ospfd. conf. sample-rw ------- 1 root 412 Jun 14 12: 07 ripd. conf. sample-rw ------- 1 root 396 Jun 14 12: 07 ripngd. conf. sample-rw ------- 1 root 375 Jun 14 12:06 zebra. conf. sample directly uses the configuration file # mkdir sample # mv * provided by zebra *. sample. /sample/# cp sample/zebra. conf. sample. /zebra. conf # cp sample/ripd. conf. sample. /ripd. conf # cp sample/rip Ngd. conf. sample. /ripngd. conf # cp sample/ospfd. conf. sample. /ospfd. conf # cp sample/ospf6d. conf. sample. /ospf6d. conf # cp sample/bgpd. conf. sample. /bgpd. conf # Start the zebra program and run it as a daemon process # Use the password zebra to log on to zebra and enter user mode.
