(OSPF) some connected networks not distributed as such

[Pim van Riezen]

Good Day,

This may be a cause of my newfound ignorance on the subject of OSPF
routing, but it has had me boggled for a good part of the last two days. I
have a linux 2.4 machine running bird on a non-broadcast connection to a
Cisco 1600. The linux machine has the following configuration:

----- (interface connected to area 0) ----------------------------------
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:60:97:C2:36:47
          inet addr:213.196.8.130  Bcast:213.196.8.135 Mask:255.255.255.248
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1

----- (interface that is the target of exchanged routes) ---------------
eth2      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:02:3B:91
          inet addr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
eth2:0    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:02:3B:91
          inet addr:202.36.147.1  Bcast:202.36.147.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
eth2:1    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:02:3B:91
          inet addr:202.36.148.1  Bcast:202.36.148.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
eth2:2    Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:50:04:02:3B:91
          inet addr:202.50.64.1  Bcast:202.50.71.255  Mask:255.255.248.0

So... Which of the two (cisco or bird) made the decision that somehow
202.36.147.0/24 is a connected link whereas 202.36.148.0/24 is an external
route, even though it is connected to the same interface? My head is
hurting :)

Cheers,
Pi
