BGP support in Quagga
0%
Description
OpenBGPD pkg on pfsense doesn't seem to be up to date for years (since 2012 probably) - a lot of recently (and may be even not recently) bgp commands are not supported in current pfsense openbgpd version.
Refer to this - https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7657 and https://customercare.netgate.com/requests/show/index/id/22985
It would be very nice if bgp protocol will be provided inside of Quagga pkg which is widely supported for most OS's including FreeBSD.

There is a PR to support using it via raw config, but no GUI yet.

We need to be able to monitor more than one CARP IP for failover. Our config has CARP on the inbound and outbound side. If either of those addresses fails, we'll lose peering on the respective side, and traffic will stop flowing.

That is unrelated to the topic on this ticket. It would be a separate feature request.

Right now, in the Quagga GUI, there's a single entry for a CARP address to monitor. If you're adding better GUI support for Quagga, to me, it makes sense that you'd consider adding more than 1 entry for CARP monitoring.

This issue is for BGP only, not other features. Scope creep isn't helpful, that needs to be in a separate feature request issue.

OK done. Please see https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/7660

- Status changed from New to Resolved
Raw config support is there now. If that isn't sufficient, switch to FRR which has a full BGP GUI.
