Quagga is able to publish routing information to SNMP. When setting up Quagga [1] with NET-SNMP (previously know as UCD-SNMP), you may fall into the problem of Quagga logging a lot of error messages to syslog or to its own logfile. Let us analyse and fix this kind of error messages in your syslog files:

Quagga and Zebra are Free routing softwares. Quagga is a fork of Zebra. They both still work similarly, and share of course the same configuration file format. It may probably allow you to replace Cisco routers or interoperate with them as the configuration is very similar to Cisco's CLI.
