I'v seen this issue, but it just magically disappeared then I re-configured ospfd and restarted on both ends. I had an issue to see routes from area 0.0.0.0 on area 0.0.0.78.
Host A: area 0.0.0.0 { interface vether0 { metric 5 } interface vether1 { metric 5 } } area 0.0.0.78 { interface vether2 { metric 10 ……. } interface carp1 { passive } interface carp2 { passive } interface lo1 { metric 5 } interface vic2 { metric 10 } } Host B: area 0.0.0.78 { interface vether2 { metric 10 ……. } } Host A is: OpenBSD 5.4 (GENERIC.MP) #34: Sun Jul 21 22:07:08 MDT 2013 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC.MP Host B is: OpenBSD 5.3 (GENERIC) #53: Tue Mar 12 18:15:44 MDT 2013 dera...@amd64.openbsd.org:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/GENERIC As you can see, this setup works without any patch. I tested to remove lo1 and see if routes to carped nets disappear. No luck. Routes are there. //mxb On 24 sep 2013, at 11:08, Kapetanakis Giannis <bil...@edu.physics.uoc.gr> wrote: > On 24/09/13 12:02, Kapetanakis Giannis wrote: >> Without this patch, routes to (lo2) and carpX:network where not distributed. >> regards, G > > My e-mail client somehow f@cked up Claudio's patch, > > Here is the link to hist original post > http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc&m=137038436926946&w=2 > > G
