Configuration, Installation, RUN and Test REST APIs

Description

FRRouting (FRR) is a free and open source Internet routing protocol suite for Linux and Unix platforms. It implements BGP, OSPF, RIP, IS-IS, PIM, LDP, BFD, Babel, PBR, OpenFabric and VRRP, with alpha support for EIGRP and NHRP https://frrouting.org/ .

This project is implemented to add REST APIs to FRRouting. Moreover, it supports some protocols such as:
OSPF
BGP
RIP
STATIC
Policy Based Routing
Prefix-List
Access-List
Route-Map
The other protocoles will be supportted in the future.

Architecture

Installation

Prerequisites

Frrouting must be installed from following link:
http://docs.frrouting.org/projects/dev-guide/en/latest/building-frr-for-ubuntu2004.html .
And then

$ git clone https://github.com/Omidznlp/REST-API-FRRouting.git
$ cd REST-API-FRRouting
$ sudo python3.8 manage.py makemigrations

Write Configuration

REST API methodes write current configuration to configuration file.\

Check Configuration

All REST APIs methods insert some commands into FRRouting. To make sure whether they are inserted into it or not!. We had better check the result of requests by running "show running-config" command in the following manner to approve the functionally of REST APIs.

$ sudo vtysh
test# show running-config
Building configuration...

Current configuration:
!
frr version 7.3.1-MyOwnFRRVersion
frr defaults traditional
hostname test
log syslog informational
no ip forwarding
no ipv6 forwarding

line vty

end
