[KLUG Members] routing question

[Adam Williams]

>What is Zebra and what does it do??

A routing protocol daemon.  Does RIP, OSPF, and some others.

It has *very* Cisco-ish configuration.

Gated is evil, bloated, old, and ugly.  The logo of gated is the genii.  
Genii's are from the elemental plane of fire,  they are devious, cunning, 
and treacherous.  Do you really want one living on your network?

Zebras are like horses;  simple minded,  and they just do what you trained 
them to do.  

>Also I see the static route to 0.0.0.0 for I think it

I think that is the same thing.  I've just prefered to do it via routes.

>with RIP2?  Will the Linux box work with RIP2?  

Should.  Zebra does RIP.  

You may be able to get away with using routed,  but you'd need to check 
waht versions of RIP that supports.  Back in the day, when I banished RIP 
from my network, routed only supported RIPv1.

Wow, a CCNA doesn't know OSPF? mmmmm, I love certification programs.
