In quagga it is OK to specify a network only, quagga automatically detects when the interfaces' IP address is in the configured range.
This is quite handy when having dynamic interface configurations, because you don't need to alter the quagga config or care how the interface is called.

Yes, it does that. But you still have to specify which interfaces it is
allowed to use for specific protocols. You can use wildcards (e.g.
"eth*") instead of specific interfaces.

List of interfaces and its addresses/prefixes.
