Guides

Start and install

• Quickstart: bring up two BGP peers quickly.
• Install Ze: install the daemon or provision an appliance.
• Build and install on Ubuntu: compile, install, create zefs, and start SSH.
• CLI tour: use interactive, one-shot, pipe, and runtime commands.
• Configuration: understand the hierarchical configuration format.
• Lifecycle and rollback: reload, restart, archive, update, and recover.

Routing

• BGP peering: configure peers, groups, families, and capabilities.
• BGP policy: build import, export, validation, and redistribution policy.
• BGP resilience: configure refresh, graceful restart, persistence, reflection, and multipath.
• OSPF, IS-IS, and static routes: bring routing protocols online.
• BFD: configure fast failure detection.
• MPLS and RSVP-TE: configure label switching and traffic engineering.

Services and security

• Firewall and policy routing: protect and steer traffic.
• FlowSpec protected router: translate FlowSpec into local protection.
• DDoS mitigation: detect floods and respond locally or upstream.
• PPPoE, L2TP, and IPsec: configure access and tunnel services.
• Authentication, authorization, RADIUS, and TACACS+: secure operator access.

Interfaces and automation

• REST and gRPC: use authenticated management APIs.
• gNMI: use Capabilities, Get, Set, and Subscribe.
• Web interface: edit configuration and run commands in the browser.
• MCP: connect tools, resources, and remote clients.
• Fleet configuration: distribute configuration to managed nodes.

Diagnose and recover

• System readiness: run offline doctor checks and inspect runtime health.
• Production diagnostics: start from symptoms and debug safely.
• Monitoring: configure flow export, MRT, and operational checks.
• Debugging tools: trace netlink, capture packets, and inspect state.
• Logging and audit: inspect operational and security history.
