AXT1800 No FRR or Quagga after upgrade to 4.7.0

[smiths]

Hi All,

FRR and Quagga are not available after upgrading my AXT1800 to 4.7.0.
Normally I would upgrade, refresh the package list and OpenWRt would install the missing packages.
Now when I look in the list FRR and Quagga are missing.
Makes the router effecively useless for me!

Did you miss a repository off?

Thanks
Simon

Hello,

Please let us know the full name of FRR.

Please confirm that the quagga plug-in is this name: olsrd-mod-quagga?

Hi Bruce,
Quagga stopped being maintained a few years ago, rip in particular is flakey these days, which is what I need at the moment. So I use FRR as it still maintained.
Package lsit from OpenWRT X86 _64 version 24.10.0:
root@work-virt-r1:~# opkg list | grep frr
frr - 10.2.1-r2 - FRRouting is free software that implements and manages various IPv4 and IPv6 routing protocols. Currently FRRouting supports BGP4, BGP4+, OSPFv2, OSPFv3, RIPv1, RIPv2, RIPng, IS-IS, PIM-SM/MSDP, LDP, VRRP and Babel as well as very early support for EIGRP and NHRP.

frr-zebra - 10.2.1-r2 - Zebra daemon

Quagga would do for now although it was depreciated and seems to have been removed from 24.10.0

root@work-virt-r1:~# opkg list | grep quag
olsrd-mod-quagga - 2024.06.09~d72be9ad-r1 - Quagga plugin

I hope this explains the missing packages.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Will ask R&D to check.

As the AXT1800 kernel is updated and all plugins in the GL repo need to be recompiled and deployed again.

The repo is being gradually improved.
Thanks.

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for that. I've put a temporary router in until these are availabel and then I can swap back.

Hi Bruce,
Loathe to upgrade my MT3000 to 4.7.13, is FRR available in the repos for that as that is is reliant on dynamic routing to operate?

Hello,

the MT3000 repo has frr.

But the MT3000 latest firmware version is v4.7.4 stable, or 4.8.0 beta/snapshot, not v4.7.13.

Did you mean v4.7.13 for the BE3600?

AXT1800 v4.8.0 has not found frr, will ask R&D to check it again.

Update:

AX1800/AXT1800 repo now has frr in latest firmware v4.8:

Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the update - top news.
I will port back from my temp router at the weekend, and also about the MT3000 based onyour feedback.

Thanks for your help and support.
