I've tagged the git repo and uploaded binary builds for several
different versions of Fedora.
To install the binaries:
su - root
cd /usr/local/
tar -xvzf [xorp-binary.tgz]
cd xorp
./xorp_install.bash
Or, build from source:
git clone git://github.com/greearb/xorp.ct.git xorp.ct.github
cd xorp.ct.github/xorp
scons
su
./lf_pkg.bash
# Resulting file should be in $USER/tmp/xorp_xx.tgz
# See the section above on installing binaries, though the ./lf_pkg.bash
# script has already placed the files in /usr/local/xorp
The install script will create the xorp user, group, etc and attempt
to soft-link libraries to match if your distribution isn't exactly the
same as the build version.
To start xorp:
cd /usr/local/xorp/sbin/
./xorp_rtrmgr -b [your config file]
Then, connect with xorpsh (in another console):
su - root
/usr/local/xorp/sbin/xorpsh
I'm going to use the LANforge live CD as the xorp.ct live cd. I'll
try to get some useful docs written up for using that and upload that
iso image to github within the next few days.
Release notes for 1.8-CT:
Major changes include:
* Allow OSPF, RIP, BGP, OSLR, and PIM to better handle interfaces
being added to and deleted from a running xorp instance via the 'xorpsh' CLI tool.
* PIM: Fix state-machine lockup due to failure to advance state machine in some error cases.
* RIP, BGP, PIM: Allow binding the protocol sockets to specific interfaces.
* FEA: Support binding to specific interfaces, including multicast protocols.
Use Netlink (Linux only) to filter events so that a single instance of
xorp pays attention to only it's interfaces.
* FEA: Support new Linux kernel API to provide multiple multicast
routing tables per kernel instance. This requires kernel 2.6.34
and the latest iproute and iptable tools. These changes are
backwards compatible with normal kernels.
* OLSR: Enable building OLSR, support binding to a specific interface.
* Support building IPv6 multicast support on Linux. Haven't tested functionality yet.
git shortlog for commits since Release 1.7.
