RE: Combining routes in BIRD OSPF export

27 Feb 2014

      Hi Ondrej,

Thank you very much for the reply; just to confirm if it should look
something like this:

protocol ospf {
	import all;
	export filter {
		ospf_metric1 = 1000;
		if source = RTS_STATIC then accept; else reject;
	};

	stubnet 2001:abcd::/56 { summary; };

	area 0 {
		interface "eth0" {
			cost 5;
			type broadcast;
			hello 10; 
			retransmit 5; 
			wait 40; 
			dead 40;
			authentication none;
		};

		interface "*" {
			cost 1000;
			stub;
		};
	};
}

Cheers.
Steve.

Hi All,
I have a question which I can't seem to find the answer for.
We allocate network ranges to our customers (both IPv4 and v6).
All our v6 ranges (say /64's) get allocated out of a single larger /56 
block.
What I want to do is prevent BIRD from picking up the individual /64's 
assigned to customers and only 'export' the larger '/56' block to OSPF 
as this is really all that's required.
Use 'stubnet <prefix> { summary; };' OSPF area option.
