I am looking to replace Quagga with Bird for our OSPF deployment. Currently, we have all of our plants with PtP links (either through PtP T1s or OpenVPN links). We use static routes to get the tunnels and such up, then distribute routes (including a default route) via OSPF (using costs to designate a primary interface). This works great currently. However, Quagga has terrible OSPFv3 support (especially with distributing a default route) so I’m looking to move to Bird. I have two VMs configured with 2 dummy interfaces per (to simulate two routers-on-a-stick). One of the routers has a default route set on one of its dummy interface (router1, dummy0). I have routes being distributed back and forth without issue. However, I can’t seem to get router1 to distribute its default route to router2. Below are some IPs and sample configs.

My other issue is that there isn’t a passive directive for OSPF (at least, according to the documentation). I would like to prevent the accepting/broadcasting of OSPF data on the dummy interfaces. Is there an easy way to do this without firewalling? Thanks!
