[SOLVED] Routing with OSPF

Hello,

I'm running Arch linux on my server since ... 1 year. Now, I will need dynamic routing with OSPFd, for exemple ... but not package are available for zebra/quagga/ospf ... What should I use ???

What software are "up-to-date" regarding network routing with dynamic protocols ?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] Routing with OSPF

I'm trying to install it ... and :

[loopx@serveur yaourt]$ makepkg
==> Making package: yaourt 0.10.2-1 (Mon Oct 31 18:13:29 CET 2011)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Missing Dependencies:
  -> package-query>=0.7
==> Checking buildtime dependencies...
==> ERROR: Could not resolve all dependencies.

... so, how can I use AUR if I need AUR to use it ... haha

EDIT: and with another way :

[loopx@serveur yaourt]$ makepkg -si
==> WARNING: Sudo can not be found. Will use su to acquire root privileges.
==> Making package: yaourt 0.10.2-1 (Mon Oct 31 18:17:51 CET 2011)
==> Checking runtime dependencies...
==> Installing missing dependencies...
Password: 
error: target not found: package-query>=0.7
==> ERROR: 'pacman' failed to install missing dependencies.

...

Ok, I see what should be done ..

Re: [SOLVED] Routing with OSPF

I got another little problem :

[root@serveur script]# iptables -A INPUT -p ospf -i tap3 -j ACCEPT
iptables v1.4.10: unknown protocol `ospf' specified
Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.

Any idea ?

Re: [SOLVED] Routing with OSPF

Ok, I found my problem ...

I come from Gentoo and I was using the word "ospf" to select OSPF protocol ... In fact, this name is recorded in the /etc/protocols file :

ospf    89      OSPFIGP         # Open Shortest Path First IGP

... and if it was not working for Arch, it's because of the protocols files are not the same :

ospfigp       89 OSPFIGP      # OSPFIGP                               [RFC1583][John_Moy]

So, to avoid my previous error, I have to use "ospfigp" instead of "ospf" ... Now it works exactly as before : the name is just different but the protocol number is the same .

Now, it's solved ^^
