FRRouting Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Advice for a high school networking lab

  FRR https://frrouting.org/ is another open source tool for a more Cisco style CLI syntax. You’d install that on top of most Linux distros. Source: about 1 year ago

• Flush BGP table faster

  Use a decent PC or three, use https://frrouting.org/ and see fast bgp convergence 8-). Source: over 1 year ago

• Recommendations on Software-based Traffic Management and Routing Platforms

  Open source, check out freerouter (https://wiki.geant.org/display/RARE/Home) and FRR (https://frrouting.org/). Source: about 2 years ago

• Pulling My Hair Out Over Netplan

  u/GamerLymx The setup goal was, originally, to set this up as a desktop testing router using FRRouting so I could experiment with some technologies I work with, namely OpenFabric without having to buy a $6k switch (Extreme Networks) as well as OSPF and EIGRP. However, I ran into some issues with setting up FRRouting and could not find sufficient information out there to overcome those. So I decided to just turn... Source: about 2 years ago

• FRRouting and NordVPN

  Has anyone ever setup FRRouting to connect to a consumer VPN such as NordVPN? I have been Googling but have come up empty so I am assuming it is not something that can be done. Just the same, I thought I would ask in case I am asking the question wrong in my searches. Source: about 2 years ago

• 10G Peering on L3 Switch (Cisco, maybe N9K?)

  Linux machine with 96G RAM, can do full internet table IPv4/IPv6 (dual stack) with FRR (https://frrouting.org). Source: over 2 years ago

• GNS3 Labbing

  If you're just planning to learn networking, then GNS3 adds a layer of abstraction you don't need. Go with a routing daemon, there's many out there, easiest to use would be https://frrouting.org/ - you can run that in a container, or a VM. Then go ahead and deploy bgp! There's other protocols, but that's the key one to learn. Source: over 2 years ago

• Would it be inefficient to study for two certs at the same time?

  You can combine them by studying networking in Linux. When you configure a lab for CCNA try to duplicate with VMs in Linux using the FRRouting Project (https://frrouting.org/). Source: almost 3 years ago

• BGP issues on Fortigate

  Install some debian/freebsd on some PC, install frr from https://frrouting.org/, And configure bgp on that box. That should be cheap enough and works as well as running it on the fortigate. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Cheap BGP Router

  Use a open source unix box and https://frrouting.org/. Source: about 3 years ago

• What are some devices (routers or switches) that have a vmdk available and commands or setup that are similar to Cisco's?

  Can check out FRR. Not an image but can run on top of Linux vm. https://frrouting.org. Source: about 3 years ago

• Looking for some advice on what I can practice to simulate what we do in the real world

  It might be worth exploring announcing your own IP prefixes from ARIN / RIPE / etc on a provider like Vultr or Neptune Networks. You can learn a ton about eBGP, filters, and full tables with a tool like BIRD or FRR. IPv4 space can be costly and difficult to get but IPv6 is much easier. Source: about 3 years ago
