Step 1: Get the code

clone github repositories

Kernel part:

$ git clone https://github.com/Gandi/ktrill.git
$ cd ktrill
$ git checkout devel

Quagga part:

$ git clone https://github.com/Gandi/quagga.git
$ cd quagga
$ git checkout dev_trill

Bridge-utils part:

$ git clone https://github.com/Gandi/bridge-utils.git
$ cd bridge-utils
$ git checkout trill

Setp 2: compile

Kernel part

Compile the kernel with these options

CONFIG_TRILL=y
CONFIG_TRILL_VNT=y

Quagga part:

use this compile command $ cd quagga
$ ./bootstrap.sh && ./configure --localstatedir=/var/run/quagga --enable-isisd --enable-trilld --disable-ipv6 --disable-ospfd --disable-ospfclient --disable-ripd --disable-babeld --disable-bgpd && make && make install

Bridge-utils part:

$ cd bridge-utils
$ autoconf && ./configure && make && make install

Step 3: Use

Kernel part :

Boot on compiled kernel

Quagga part :

ZEBRA_CONF= [zebra.conf.sample] (https://github.com/Gandi/quagga/blob/dev_trill/zebra/zebra.conf.sample)
TRILLD_CONF = [trilld.conf.sample] (https://github.com/Gandi/quagga/blob/dev_trill/isisd/trilld.conf.sample)
$ zebra -f $ZEBRA_CONF -P 2121 -u quagga -d
$ trilld -f $TRILLD_CONF -P 2021 -u quagga -d

Bridge-utils part:

Available new commands brctl trill <bridge> {on|off} turn trill on/off
brctl setvni <bridge> <port> <vni> set virtual network id
brctl delvni <bridge> <port> delete virtual network id
brctl showvs <bridge> show vitrual network id
brctl showmacs_nick <bridge> show a list of mac addrs and correspondant nick (experimental)

NB : This configuration works automatically for xen envirement for other virtualisation envirement vm interface need to be correctly flagged
echo 2 > /sys/class/net/<INTERFACE>/brport/trill_state
or just append a vni ID to it using
brctl setvni <bridge> <port> <vni>
