Getting started guide to FRR on pfSense
-
Hi
Please forgive me if I am missing the obvious, I'm looking for some recent guides/examples on FRR, specifically OSPF between a couple of pfSense firewalls ultimately and switches connected to them.I had something working with Quagga, but found it was a bit all or nothing, so the idea of the Route Maps, Access Lists etc sounds good but I can't get my head around it. I've watched the hangout from Dec 2017 on FRR which has doesn't cover those bits. I've found a few posts saying its possible to set up old style supernets to get the openvpn connections to be published but would like a something covering in a bit more depth if there is a new way how.
Also am I missing something, i've seen posts where people appear to be doing router style "show ip route ospf" is it possible to run these sort of command somehow on pfsense?

Have a look at my post

The screen shots show I'm simply redistributing Kernel and Connected routes

Hi
Thanks, I think i might have seen your post before but misread it first time arround.
I've also now worked out that I can ssh into the pfsense box and then do vtysh in order to get into a route style console. So I'm now able to do "show ip ospf neighbor" and see my the connected via openvpn pfsense and locally connected core switch.
So that's good, if I have a look again at your post I should be able how to allow the routes advertised from the router into pfsense's routing table and advertise the routes back into the routers.

You can get all that info from the GUI too
