that's not necessary, unless you have disabled ARP.

use a tool like tcpdump to see what's going on the wire.
and double check the configuration on both sides.
alternatively, try with just ifconfig and "plain" route :
box1# ifconfig eth0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.255
box1# route add -host 4.3.2.1 eth0
box2# ifconfig eth0 4.3.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.255
box2# route add -host 1.2.3.4 eth0
if /that/ does not work, check connectivity with a
"standard" setup, because it's probably a lower-level
problem then.

not necessary, unless you have more than 2 machines,
and one of them acts as a router between the others.

it depends of the protocol. I think that RIP, if no
route is injected to it, will never send anything.
else, it broadcasts every minute, as do OSPF. BGP,
by default, only tries to establish TCP connections
with the configured peers.

after starting, i.e., zebra, try "telnet localhost zebra".
