4. Select Option 6 (Dynamic Routing Configuration).

6. Select Option 2 (enable) and enable both Quagga/Zebra and ospfd.
7. Go back up to the main Quagga/Zebra menu
8. Select Option 4 (start) and start both Quagga/Zebra and ospfd.

OSPF service is now enabled on boot and running.

In our example above, we will be configuring the "Main Router". From the Quagga/Zebra menu, choose Option 1 (Quagga configuration). Then select Option 3 (ospf configuration). This will connect to the Quagga command line, the default password is zebra. then type en to become administrator and type in the following configuration:
