This Quagga Tutorial just I write to complete Quagga Tutorial post before. Quagga is an open source routing software based on Zebra router. It’s supports the main routing protocols such as RIP, OSPF or BGP

Also in this Quagga Tutorial I will tell you that Quagga can be installed on any Linux system with a 2.4 or higher kernel. Quagga is composed of several daemons, one per routing protocol and another one called Zebra acting as the kernel routing manager. Each daemon has its own configuration file and terminal interface which can be accessed by telnet. The vtysh tool is provided to configure the Quagga router from the localhost, in a unique interface. See the Quagga tutorial for instructions on configuring the router.

Quagga works independently from the operational system (OS) over which it is installed. It must be emphasised in this Quagga Tutorial, that Quagga owns only routing capabililies and functionalities associated with it, such as access lists or route maps. It does not provide “non-routing” functionalities such as DHCP server, NTP server/client or ssh access but it is often possible to enable them on the operating system supporting your Quagga router.

The Quagga Command line Interface is very similar to the Cisco IOS software allows it to be configured very easily for those who are familiar with Cisco. To see more details about Quagga installation step by step, maybe take a look this Quagga Tutorial.
