OLSR into OSPF ?

[rosco]

Hi,
I need to redistribute the OLSR routes into the OSPF process in order to connect to an internet gateway speaking OSPF.
Do you have some ideas ?

Thanks,
Giampaolo.

The new OLSR is supposed to have that ability, as well through rip, but we have not tested and will not include the addon just yet. Once the 1.3 branch is released then we will check and get the redistribution module tested and working.

I am sure you can use static routes to deliver the traffic into the mesh network from the ospf gateway, and the mesh will deliver to the gateway by way of the default route.

You are right, but I have 3 ospf point of interconnection with the "wired network", so with static route I don't have any kind of backup . . .

Some suggestion ?

Thanks,
Giampaolo.

Currrently there is no solution. Sorry.

I saw the OLSR to zebractl communication patch and the first version is kind of nasty but somebody submitted a patch that cleaned it up and made it.. not quite as horrible. I have not seen any additional feedback after it was posted, though :(

The nasty-looking version is what's included with OLSR 0.5.0, I would recommend using the patch below to clean it up after you grab 0.5.0.

Thanks.

While we cannot use the patch in question (we do not use the antiquated Quagga release it's designed for), we'll see what we can do in the upcoming releases to provide something similar.
