E.4 Configuring a Virtual Router with OSPF

Perform the following procedure for each node in every peer cluster:

  1. Use YaST to add a Dummy Device to the node.

    This creates a virtual network device named dummy0.

  2. In YaST, use the Software Installer to install the Quagga Routing Suite package.

  3. Edit the configuration files for the Quagga Routing Suite.

    For information, see the Quagga Routing Suite Documentation Web site.
