Frr: FRR fails to run on FreeBSD (NS initialisation failure)

[mwinter-osr]

This is with FRR master, git sha 6ca96cc (March 14, 2018)

Compiling works, but trying to run aborts zebra, ospfd etc immediatly with:

dut:~# zebra -d
2018/03/16 06:10:02 errors: ZEBRA: NS initialisation failure (No error: 0)
core_handler: showing active allocations in memory group libfrr
core_handler: memstats:  Host config                   :      1 *         10
core_handler: memstats:  Command Argument Name         :    101 * (variably sized)

@mwinter-osr , I would be happy to contribute if you could allocate me a freebsd access with the frr compilation folder installed, please.
thanks in advance,

Hi @mwinter-osr , any news on freebsd availability?

Sorry, missed this earlier. Will get you a system online in the next hours

Was having a similar issue with zebra crashing and core handler dumping - turns out when I removed the three gif interfaces on the box it loaded up fine.

Very easy to reproduce on a fresh FreeBSD system with a "pkg add frr" and default empty FRR configuration files:

[root@router]~# ifconfig gif create
gif0
[root@router]~# ifconfig gif0 up
[root@router]~# gdb zebra

Same problem with tun, gre, gif interfaces.

I think this is already fixed... Will autoclose in 1 week if no responses.
