How to modify FRRouting configuration file settings? about ipmininet

[jadinm]

Hello,

FRRouting's vtysh command line is using unix sockets under /var/run/frr according to https://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/vtysh.html#permissions-and-setup-requirements
But the unix sockets are not saved there by IPMininet
If you haven't changed the location, it's in /tmp/<node_name>
FYI, its location and name is set by

ipmininet/ipmininet/router/config/zebra.py

Lines 41 to 44 in 72cefde

	def zebra_socket(self):
	"""Return the path towards the zebra API socket for the given node"""
	return os.path.join(self._node.cwd,
	'%s_%s.api' % ('quagga', self._node.name))

I am unfamiliar with vtysh configuration and cannot advise you on the best way to configure it to accommodate a different location and names
If you have time to do it, I am open to PR making IPMininet compatible with FRRouting's vtysh command line :-)

In any case, you can still connect to the daemons without the tool by using telnet as shown in the documentation of the examples: https://github.com/cnp3/ipmininet/blob/72cefde536ca02c650875d4b14d93899824af668/ipmininet/examples/README.md

Thanks for your help! I will try using telnet first.
