Hi ,

Please find some of the steps :

Get the Zebra tar file

Grep for any previous ZEBRA installed 

rpm -qa | grep zebra

If yes then 

Uninstall it by using rpm -e <zebra> --nodeps ( to keep the libraries )

Then UNTAR it in ur linux PC.

tar xvzf <zebra>

./configure --enable-vtysh ( to get the vtysh )

make ; make install ;

then /usr/local/sbin/ 

will have the deamons installed

zebra , ospfd , bgp , pimd etc

cd /usr/local/etc/

then cp vtysh.conf.sample vtysh.conf

like this do for ospfd and zebra

and start the deamon as /usr/local/sbin/zebra -d

/usr/local/sbin/ospfd -d

then zebra and ospfd are configured and running in ur linux.

Chk by ps -A | grep zebra as well as for ospfd 

then telnet localhost zebra

     config term

     interface eth0

     ip address 11.11.11.11/24

     write memory 

     sh run

telnet localhost ospfd 

  config term

        Sounds like you're a lot newer than the last release of Zebra is.  If
you are running a modern Linux distribution (or maybe the BSD's) you are
probably running Quagga, a fork of Zebra, and not Zebra.  There are now
a lot of things in Quagga that never made it into Zebra.  There hasn't
been anything going on with Zebra, the project, in a long time.

        Insufficient information to proceed.  Yes, the documentation is thick
as mud but if you don't already understand the basics of the routing
protocols and their configuration, there's not much we can do to help.
Quite frankly, just your question tells me you shouldn't be monkeying
with these.  You're asking how to configure ripd, ripngd, ospfd, and
ospf6d in one question?  Do you even know which you want to use or what
you intend to do with it?  I won't say they are mutually exclusive
(certainly ospfd and ospf6d could be seen together) but you carpet
bombing us for newbie help and that tends to encourage me to direct you
to an introductory text in routing protocols.

        1) What are you trying to do with it?

        2) What protocols do you require?

        3) What platforms are you on.

        4) Describe your network.

        5) Take it to the Quagga list.  At least that fork is maintained.

Use quagga.  Zebra has not been updated in ages.  Quagga is zeroing in
on a 1.0 release Zebra stopped even looking toward ages ago.  Lots of
changes in BGPd in Quagga (like MD5 signatures) you just won't find in
Zebra.
