FRR 8.0.0 Release

The FRR community is pleased to announce FRR 8.0.

In this release there are over 2200 commits from 91 different authors.

Please note that we expect to release a bugfix point release relatively soon after this release.

Snaps will be delayed by several weeks; when available they will be published here:

Due to the absence of a suitable libyang2 package for Alpine Linux, Docker builds will also be delayed.

Changelog

Major changes

Behavior

Coming up in the next release:

  • Many users are familiar with vtysh's "walk up" behavior. If a command is entered which isn't valid in the current CLI context mode, vtysh will "walk up" to higher, more general contexts and attempt to evaluate the command there. In prior releases, this would happen if the command entered was ambiguous for the current context. This caused more problems than it was worth and so an upcoming release the behavior will be changed so that vtysh will no longer walk up when an ambiguous command is entered. Some users that have configurations which rely on this behavior may notice that their configurations no longer work. This should be a very small minority of users but please keep it in mind if you start seeing weird configuration issues in a future release. It's worth taking some time now to see if you're relying on ambiguous command walkup.

Features

  • A new daemon, pathd, has been added. This daemon implements support for segment routing. Documentation is currently lacking, but there are example configurations to look at
    here.

  • EVPN Multihoming is now fully supported

  • OSPFv3 now supports VRFs

  • TI-LFA has been implemented in IS-IS and OSPF

  • Zebra now has the ability to dump netlink messages in a human-friendly format

  • LDP gained SNMP support

Dependencies

  • FRR uses libyang to implement support
    for YANG models and related functionality. In this release we've transitioned
    to libyang2 to provide both better performance and to receive better support
    from future libyang changes. Packaged libyang2 is provided in our Debian and
    RPM repositories.

Packaging changes

snapcraft:

  • Add fabricd
  • Add libyang
  • Update rtrlib
  • Update rpki

RPM Packages for 7.2:

Attached are some pre-built RPM binary packages.

The packages are all default builds based on the documentation with unmodified
source

Full Package Sources etc are available on the CI system as
artifacts

The packages require libyang and the RPKI packages require the rtrlib
package as well. Both of them are most likely not yet in any RPM repositories,
but can be downloaded from the NetDEF CI System.

FRR 7.1 Release

For Debian/Ubuntu packages, please refer to https://deb.frrouting.org/.

For RPM packages, please scroll down

Note: this version is primarily numbered "7.1" due to feedback from users about the major version number increasing too rapidly. It has the same amount of ongoing development as the usual FRR release cycle.

User-visible changes since the 7.0 release:

  • there is a new, work-in-progress gRPC northbound configuration interface plugin
  • zebra:
    • the table NNN command was removed from zebra since it has been broken for a long time.
    • the dataplane interface modularization and multithreading work is progressing steadily.
    • IPv6 Router Advertisements sent by zebra can now have RFC 8106 DNS options added to them.
  • bgpd:
    • EVPN can now be configured in non-default VRFs.
    • RFC 8212 — a default "deny" policy for eBGP sessions — can now be selected.

Aside from these, a huge amount of fixes and ongoing development is happening, as usual.

RPM Packages for 7.1:

Attached are some pre-built RPM binary packages.

The packages are all default builds based on the documentation with unmodified source

Full Package Sources etc are available on the CI system as artifacts

The packages require 'libyang' and the RPKI packages require the 'rtrlib' package as well.
Both of them are most likely not yet in any RPM repositories, but can be downloaded from the
NetDEF CI System.

FRR 7.0 Release

For Debian/Ubuntu packages, please refer to https://deb.frrouting.org/.

For RPM packages, please scroll down

There are some major changes in this release, specifically libyang
https://github.com/CESNET/libyang is now a hard requirement to build and run
FRRouting. Here's the full list of major changes from 6.0.x to 7.0:

  • YANG data modeling & NETCONF support has arrived for the following daemons:

    • ripd
    • ripngd
    • isisd

    Note that this uses FRR-specific models and may still be subject to some
    changes. Feedback is strongly appreciated!

  • Error Codes / Categories are now added to log messages. They are printed as
    [EC 99999999999] on log messages and identify classes of errors. The
    library, bgpd, ospfd and zebra have been properly extended to categorize
    errors while the other daemons have somewhat more rudimentary cateogries.

  • configure terminal in the CLI is no longer an exclusive state on any
    daemon, i.e. multiple users can edit the configuration at the same time in
    all daemons. This was previously already the case for zebra and isisd.

  • BGP enhancements:

    • EVPN Duplicate Address Detection
    • EVPN route servers
    • EVPN extended mobility
    • Global IPv6 addresses can be used for RFC5549 (v4-over-v6) nexthops
    • Flowspec protocol support has been significantly extended. (Note that OS
      integration is still very incomplete.)
    • Add-Path IDs are now reused on transmission when possible
    • Aggregates now properly aggregate extended and large community attributes

  • IS-IS:

    • BFD support has been added
    • triggered hellos have been implemented

  • new daemon: OpenFabric (a datacenter variant of IS-IS - cf.
    https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-white-openfabric/)

  • Zebra's kernel/dataplane interface is undergoing a rewrite and parts have
    been moved into a separate thread with a more extensible architecture. Work
    on this project is ongoing.

  • staticd now supports onlink nexthops for static routes

  • sharpd now supports nexthop groups for route installs

  • many bugs were fixed, also including quite a few overdue documentation
    improvements. This also includes CVE-2017-3224 which is a low-severity
    low-impact OSPF vulnerability (as evident by the 2017 date.)

Important packaging and build related changes:

  • libyang is now required to build and run FRRouting. Version 0.16.74 or
    newer (e.g. 0.16-r3 which is 0.16.105) is strongly recommended. Older
    versions will create additional hazards at both build and runtime because
    an extension module needs to be installed. Support for libyang versions
    before 0.16.74 will be removed in the next non-stable FRRouting version.

    • when using libyang before 0.16.74, make sure to specify the
      --with-libyang-pluginsdir=/usr/lib/frr/libyang_plugins option (change
      path to fit system)

  • Debian packaging has been completely overhauled (matches the changes in
    6.0.2.) If you are creating derivative Debian packages, updates will be
    necessary.

    • RPKI and SNMP are now separate packages that can be installed
      additionally. There are no longer distinct "RPKI" and "no RPKI" versions
      of FRRouting on Debian.

    • Debian packages are now provided in a repository at:
      https://deb.frrouting.org/

  • Snapcraft packaging has been updated to match.

  • There is a new --enable-static-bin option to link libfrr statically into
    FRR binaries. This is the only supported way of doing any static linking
    of FRR. (--disable-shared is NOT supported.)

  • all daemons now properly complete their startup before allowing their parent
    to exit when the -d daemonization option is used. This should remove the
    need for any "sleep" calls or start retrying in init scripts.

  • some minor non-reproducibility issues were fixed. FRRouting should now
    always build reproducibly.

  • the topotests system that was previously maintained separately is now
    shipped as part of the FRR source under tests/topotests.

RPM Packages for 7.0:

Attached are some pre-built RPM binary packages.

The packages are all default builds based on the documentation with unmodified source

Full Package Sources etc are available on the CI system as artifacts

The packages require 'libyang' and the RPKI packages require the 'rtrlib' package as well.
Both of them are most likely not yet in any RPM repositories, but can be downloaded from the
NetDEF CI System.
