[quagga-users 14573] How to configure Quagga for wireless mesh networks?

*Could someone give an example setup on Quagga-MR for wireless mesh network
of Raspberry Pi where the wifi network interface is wlan0? *

I note that the CORE emulator did a very good job on utilizing Quagga
routing suite for wireless mesh network routing with Quagga-MR version and
wonder how the configuration was done in CORE. I only see Quagga.conf, but
not the zebra.conf, ospfd.conf, ospf6d.conf.

I am trying to set up a wireless mesh network of Raspberry Pi and performed
the follows (because the deb file cannot be installed on ARM directly).

$ sudo apt-get install gawk

$ wget https://downloads.pf.itd.nrl.navy.mil/ospf-manet/quagga-0.
99.21mr2.2/quagga-0.99.21mr2.2.tar.gz

$ tar zxvf quagga-0.99.21mr2.2.tar.gz

$ cd  quagga-0.99.21mr2.2

$ ./configure  # See INSTALL file in the directory for details if needed.

$ make; sudo make install

Looks like Quagga-MR will install in /usr/local/sbin, not /usr/lib/quagga.
Then I did try to configure the zebra, ospf, ospf6 - initially based on the
regular Quagga, not Quagga-MR - perhaps I messed up two installations on
one Pi. More importantly, I wonder how *.conf shall be configured for
Quagga-MR. There are too many parameters to guess and whether we need ospf6
if we use IPv4. Below is what I tried but did not work out - any help or
hint is appreciated.

4.1 Configure network interfaces

$ sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.122
netmask 255.255.255.0
wireless-channel 1

wireless-essid PiAdHocNetwork

wireless-mode ad-hoc

$ sudo service networking restart
             Now, each node can ping and ssh each other if they are in each
other's range. Now, I try to set up the mesh network routing.

4.2 Configure Quagga daemons

$ sudo nano /etc/quagga/daemons

zebra=yes
ospfd=yes

ospf6d=yes

$ sudo nano /etc/quagga/debian.conf

vtysh_enable=yes

zebra_options=" --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"

bgpd_options="  --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"

ospfd_options=" --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"

ospf6d_options="--daemon -A ::1"

ripd_options="  --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"

ripngd_options="--daemon -A ::1"

isisd_options=" --daemon -A 127.0.0.1"

babeld_options="--daemon -A 127.0.0.1"

$ sudo nano /etc/quagga/vtysh.conf

!

! Sample

!

! service integrated-vtysh-config

hostname quagga-router

username root nopassword

!



4.3 Configure Zebra

$ sudo nano /etc/quagga/zebra.conf

hostname R22zebra
!
password zebra
enable password password
!
interface wlan0
ip address 192.168.1.122/24
!
no log trap
log stdout
!
line vty
no login

4.4 Configure ospf

$ sudo nano /etc/quagga/ospfd.conf

hostname R22ospfd
!
password zebra
enable password password
!
interface wlan0
!
router ospf
network 192.168.1.0/24 area 0.0.0.0
!
line vty
no login

4.5 Configure ospf6d

$ sudo nano /etc/quagga/ospf6d.conf

hostname R22ospf6

password zebra

enable password password

log stdout

service advanced-vty

!

debug ospf6 neighbor state

!

interface wlan0

line vty

4.6 Turn on IP forwarding

pi@tuesday:~$ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for
IPv4
net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
# Uncomment the next line to enable packet forwarding for
IPv6
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

4.7 restart all services

$ sudo chown quagga.quaggavty /etc/quagga/*.conf

$ sudo chmod 640 /etc/quagga/*.conf

$ sudo reboot
