That would be helpful- it'd be nice to not have to keep the same setting in multiple places in the config file On Tue, Jun 18, 2013 at 4:50 AM, Ondrej Zajicek <santiago@crfreenet.org>wrote:

Wow- thanks for the quick response guys! This works great!
Is it possible to set the dead timer, auth ttype, password, etc per area and only override the interface differences (like cost) on a per interface basis? (having the interfaces inherit the non-specified settings from the area config)
It is not currently possible, you have to copy the options.
I don't think that setting per-area defaults is the best way how to solve this. It is not uncommon to have several classes of ifaces with different sets of options. Perhaps named iface templates, like ones used for protocols, could solve this issue in a better way:
template "wired" { hello 3; retransmit 2; wait 10; dead 15; check link; }; template "wireless" { hello 5; retransmit 2; wait 10; dead 60; };
interface "eth0" from "wired" { cost 10; }; interface "eth1" from "wired" { cost 20; }; interface "wlan0" from "wireless" { cost 100; }; interface "wlan1" from "wireless" { cost 200; };
Any comments?
