Anno domini 2017 ico scripsit: Hi,
I would like to hear some advices about bird on linux, what is the best way to inject some route into OSPF on bird. I want for my router to announce via OSPF to other routers that some IPs should be directed to it.
Example: I want IPs 10.0.0.1/32 and 10.0.0.5/32 to be directed to my router. I would set dummy0 interface, set those IPs there, include dummy0 in OSPF and voila! the rest of network "knows" 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.5 is here. This doesn't seem as a good solution for me, because the traffic to 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.5 would then be NATed or modified in other way so these IPs really don't need to exist. [...]
So like interface "dummy0" { stub yes; }; within the OSPF protocol? That seems like a fine way for me. What's the problem of configuring an IP on the dummy0 interface? You would have to configure routes into your 'mytable' table, add a second kernel protocol, learn routes there and export those to OSPF as E1/E2. That's more hassle IMO.
