Cumulus Linux

Routing Daemon

With the release of Cumulus Linux 3.4.0 the platform moved the routing daemon to a fork of Quagga named FRRouting. See the below link for the release notes.

https://support.cumulusnetworks.com/hc/en-us/articles/115011217808-Cumulus-Linux-3-4-0-Release-Notes

A variable has been added to enable users running Cumulus Linux > 3.4.0 to target the new frr routing daemon.

NCLU

It is possible to switch to NCLU as a configuration collecting method, by setting cumulus_use_nclu to true

NVUE

It is also possible to use NVUE as a configuration collecting method, by setting cumulus_use_nvue to true.

Example usage

vars:
  cumulus_routing_daemon: frr
  cumulus_use_nclu: true

Alternatively map a column for the cumulus_routing_daemon variable.

source:
  csv:
    map:
      name: 0
      ip: 1
      model: 2
      group: 3
    vars_map:
      cumulus_routing_daemon: 4

And set the cumulus_routing_daemon variable in the router.db file.

cumulus1:192.168.121.134:cumulus:cumulus:frr

The default value for cumulus_routing_daemon is quagga so existing installations continue to operate without interruption.

The default value for cumulus_use_nclu is false, in case NCLU is not installed.

The default value for cumulus_use_nvue is false, in case NVUE is not installed.
