RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Răzvan Sandu 2017-09-04 18:36:17 UTC 
Description of problem:

The OSPF command "ip ospf area AREANUMBER", that allows an OSPF interface to be assigned to a *specific* area, is not available (despite being advertised in Quagga's official documentation). 

http://www.nongnu.org/quagga/docs/docs-multi/OSPF-interface.html#OSPF-interface


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
quagga-0.99.22.4-4.el7.x86_64 (CentOS 7.x as of September 3rd, 2017)

How reproducible:
Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install quagga package from the official repositories.
2. Enable zebra and ospf daemons
3. Launch vtysh, to obtain a Cisco-like CLI
4. Do "conf t", then "interface SOMEINTERFACE"
5. Check "ip ospf" sub commands

Actual results:
There is no "ip ospf area AREANUMBER" command available, limiting configuration options.

Expected results:
"ip ospf area AREANUMBER" command should be available, as documented here
http://www.nongnu.org/quagga/docs/docs-multi/OSPF-interface.html#OSPF-interface

Please update the quagga package to latest features, as advertised.

Thank  you!

The Quagga RPM package included in current Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.x and CentOS 7.x is VERY old; the solution of the above bug (missing command) seems to be simply to include a newer version.

For comparison:

- Current stable Quagga is 1.2.1 (http://savannah.nongnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8811)

- Quagga RPM package included in RHEL/CentOS 7.x is quagga-0.99.22.4-4.el7

- Quagga RPM package included in Fedora 26 is quagga-1.2.1-1.fc26

- Quagga package included in Debian (stable) 9.x is quagga-1.1.1


So please release a newer Quagga package in RHEL/CentOS.


Thank you!

Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7 entered the Maintenance Support 1 Phase in August 2019. In this phase only qualified Critical and Important Security errata advisories (RHSAs) and Urgent Priority Bug Fix errata advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available. Other errata advisories may be delivered as appropriate.

This bug has been reviewed by Support and Engineering representative and does not meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Support 1 Phase. If this issue still exists in newer major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, it has been cloned there and work will continue in the cloned bug.
