View Full Version : OSLR redistribution to OSPF

This is using WAR with build 1090.

We would like to use OSLR to benefit from the link quality to provide reliability over dual-radio link.
Since most of our network is OSPF based, we need OSLR routes to be redistributed into OSPF.

We currently have a setup like that:
cisco to radio AP: subnet 1
AP to client radio: subnet 2
client ethernet side: subnet 3

Cisco and AP run OSPF, AP and client radio run OSLR.
I have 'redistribute kernel' (the most obvious) into my 'router ospf' config.
I also tried all possible 'redistribute xxx' with no luck...

I can see the client side (subnet 3) showing on the AP in OSLR but it does not get redistributed with OSPF: outgoing traffic is OK but incoming does not work due to OSPF not knowing how to get to subnet 3 (subnet 1 and 2 show as expected into OSPF).

Any idea ?

Note: it also looks like any secondary IP on the ethernet client side is ignored in OSLR (but that's another issue...).

In fact, subnet 3 does not show up in kernel routes in AP, I can only see a /32 route to the staros interface (eth0) on subnet 3. But even that /32 does not get propagated.

We are looking at a new addon for quagga that will allow olsr to talk with zebra. That will mean olsr routes will be announced by rip and ospf.

I did a lot of googling and haven't been able to find anything like that. What did you find?

I did find one discussion back in August 2005 on the olsr-users list about olsrd talking zclient to zebra so olsrd's routes could work correctly with bgpd/ospfd/ripd, but it was only a quick mention that someone had some immature example code.
