i have an OSPF ABR in area 0 and area 1. this router has a default route via a non-OSPF interface (kernel route, imported into BIRD using the 'kernel' protocol). i'd like to advertise this route into area 1, but *not* into area 0.
how would i go about doing that?
I would filter out the default route on all the area 0 routers.
please feel free to let me know if this is a bad idea or if i'm using OSPF wrong :-)
Well, OSPF isn't intended for filtering routes between areas this way. Guessing from what you have written, it may make sense e.g. to run one OSPF instance per area, assign each area a BGP private ASN and run BGP between them. Have a nice weekend!
