Hey guys and gals,

Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section! I've recently been setting up a small OSPF area over my Zerotier VPN and at first I was using the web interface to configure OSPF but found that it doesn't have the options for manual addresses so I started to configure via vtysh however on rebooting my router (even after a copy run start) the Web UI seems to be overwriting my configuration, so how can I install FRR without it installing the webui components?

Thanks!

Remove the plugin, Install frr7 via CLI and enable in rc.conf.
Now you can use it like with Linux

By chance would you know of a guide for it? My googlefu isn't giving me much information for installing frr on the cli, rather using just the webui

via CLI:

pkg remove os-frr
pkg install frr7

create a file /etc/rc.conf.d/frr and content:

frr_enable="YES"
frr_daemons="zebra XXX"

Where XXX are the daemons you want to run like bgp, ospf etc.
Then you can edit the config files in /usr/local/etc/frr and start via service frr start
