10.5. Enrutamiento dinámico
Actualmente, la herramienta de referencia para enrutamiento dinámico es quagga
, del paquete con un nombre similar; solía ser zebra
hasta que se detuvo el desarrollo de este último. Sin embargo, quagga
mantuvo los nombres de los programas por cuestiones de compatibilidad, lo que explica el uso de zebra
a continuación.
Quagga is a set of daemons cooperating to define the routing tables to be used by the Linux kernel; each routing protocol (most notably BGP, OSPF and RIP) provides its own daemon. The zebra
daemon collects information from other daemons and handles static routing tables accordingly. The other daemons are known as bgpd
, ospfd
, ospf6d
, ripd
, ripngd
, and isisd
.
Daemons are enabled by creating the /etc/quagga/daemon.conf
config file, daemon being the name of the daemon to use; this file must belong to the quagga
user and group in order for the /etc/init.d/zebra
script to invoke the daemon. The package quagga-core provides configuration examples under /usr/share/doc/quagga-core/examples/
The configuration of each of these daemons requires knowledge of the routing protocol in question. These protocols cannot be described in detail here, but
quagga-doc provides ample explanation in the form of an
info
file. The same contents may be more easily browsed as HTML on the Quagga website:
Además, la sintaxis es muy parecida a la configuración de una interfaz estándar de un router, y los administradores de red la adaptarán rápidamente a quagga
.
