Hi Ondrej and all,
after a long time I need to setup a ppp tunnel between linux
machine and a MikroTik router and the linux ppp0 interface
results up and running as follows:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:44.134.32.240 P-t-P:10.58.2.1 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1450 Metric:1
RX packets:442 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:359 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:3
RX bytes:31271 (30.5 Kb) TX bytes:23174 (22.6 Kb)
the ppp0 interface reported by BIRD is the following:
ppp0 up (index=23)
PtP Multicast AdminUp LinkUp MTU=1450
44.134.32.240/32 (Primary, opposite 10.58.2.1, scope univ)
as you can see the Mask value on the above linux interface is
255.255.255.255.
Now running an OSPF session on both sides (linux BIRD OSPF and Mikrotik
OSPF)
it happens that the BIRD on linux (ir0rm-7.ampr.org/44.134.32.240) transmits
the Hello packets with a Mask 0.0.0.0 and then the Mikrotik discards the
BIRD
Hello packets due to mismatch in network mask (see the following tcpdump
on linux machine and Mikrotik log picture).
There is a continue Hello packets as below with no apparent OSPF routing
exchange.
I'm using the latest BIRD git version...
Something wrong on my side?
regards,
gus [i0ojj]
