Not that I know of. The manpage and the example rule file is a start.
Normaly you want to start with a simple setup (one area, no passwords) so
something like:
router-id 0.0.0.1
redistribute static
redistribute connected
area 0.0.0.0 {
interface em0
interface tun1
}
If that is working as expected you can start changing the config.
Amusingly, I actually had this identical configuration which I tried
during one of my many tests. While running the dual-homed router in
non-detaching verbose mode, it spits out some messages indicating a
questionable level of operation, and certainly not 100% happiness
(unknown neighbor ID, states constantly being ELECTed to switch from
EXSTA to some other state).
But, this time when I tried it, after a few minutes everything seemed
to latch into place. It was working great... so I left it to sit, and
about 3 hours later, all the OSPF-provided routes just got up and
vanished. So that leaves me back at square one.
What I did try was running this configuration with and without em0/tun1
being bridged... when they were not bridged, things absolutely did not
work. When they were bridged, there was that message spew, but things
seem to at least entertain some sporadic form of communication.
Thanks for your suggestions. I'll keep poking away at it and see if I
can get everything happily talking.
