Hi, BSDRP 1.992 is online, based on a FreeBSD 15-head (15-head 166a655fcf1, Oct 6) and includes OpenVPN DCO and ZFS modules. Regarding the embedded softwares: FRR was upgraded to 9.0.1, bird to 2.13.1. Download link: https://bsdrp.net/downloads Full release notes: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsdrp/files/BSD_Router_Project/1.992/ Regards, Olivier |

Hi, BSDRP 1.991 is online, based on a FreeBSD 14-head (70b56f4b928, July 7th 2022). Regarding the embedded softwares: frr was upgraded to 8.2.2, bird to 2.0.10. The goal was to migrate the build system from nanobsd to poudriere-image and release a version 2.0. But the time available was spent debugging 8.x regression on FreeBSD. Download link: https://bsdrp.net/downloads Full release notes: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsdrp/files/BSD_Router_Project/1.991/ Regards, Olivier |

Regarding the embedded softwares: frr7 was upgraded to 7.5, mpd5 to 5.9, openvpn to 2.5.0, strongswan to 5.9.1.

Hi, BSDRP 1.97 is online, based on a FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE (r363822) fixing some missing Ethernet NIC modules (Chelsio Ethernet VF driver and Ethernet QLogic 3200 series). This version add some new packages: Mellanox Firmware tools (lite version), wireguard, vim-tiny, mrtparse (MRT format data parser), nrpe3 (nagios client including nagios-plugins), frr7-pythontools (Helper script to help reload frr). Download link: https://bsdrp.net/downloads Full release notes: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsdrp/files/BSD_Router_Project/1.97/ Regards, Olivier |

Hi, BSDRP 1.94 is online, based on a FreeBSD 12.1-STABLE (r353478) with ramdisk /var size increased to 32MB. Upgraded packages: FRR 7.1, Bird 2.0.6, strongswan to 5.8.1, exabgp 4.1.2, pmacct 1.7.3. Warning: BSDRP installation prior than 1.93 need to resize their system partitions before upgrade. The disk size where BSDRP is installed need to be a 2GB minimum size. The command line to use, only on BSDRP installation prior than 1.93 is this one: "system resize-system-slice 1911680".

Hi, BSDRP 1.93 is online, still based on a FreeBSD 12-stable (r348342). Upgraded packages: FRR 7.0, Bird 2.0.4. This version disables multipath features (ECMP) because it generates kernel panic on 1.92: It was a half-working feature allowing installing multiple next hops to a route, but packets were forwarded to the first entry only [1]. The good news is there is work-on-going about fixing this code, so I hope to re-introduce it into the next release. Notice that new installation (=full image) now requires a minimum of 2 GB disk space, but upgrade images are still based on 1 GB disk size allowing upgrading previous installations.

Hi, BSDRP 1.91 is online and was upgraded to FreeBSD 11.2-RELEASE-p2. Bug fixes: - Fix upgrade script that didn't wait for autosave end (so users upgrading from 1.90 can still meet 'device busy' error message, restarting upgrade a second time should resolve the problem) - bsnmpd not showing out octets for vlan interfaces - FRR: Fix set metric in route-map - VXLAN: add if_vxlan.ko modules Download link: https://bsdrp.net/downloads Full release notes: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsdrp/files/BSD_Router_Project/1.91/ For adventurous users, there is a 64 bit only release (v1.911) based on FreeBSD 12-ALPHA2 here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/bsdrp/files/BSD_Router_Project/current/ Regards, Olivier |
