Greetings.
I just started playing with bird yesterday (my first endeavour into dynamic routing). I got OSPF set up nicely, but wanted to use multiple areas. I'm using OPSFv3(bird6/IPv6).
There are essentially two issues I'm having:
1. "It doesn't work." This is probably just because I've not configured it correctly yet and is somewhat secondary.
Hello First some OSPF area hints: 1. rule of OSPF areas: Don't use it unless you know exactly what are you doing. 2. rule of OSPF areas: If you still want to use it, stick to stub and NSSA areas and avoid transit areas and especially vlinks. Just change transit areas to the backbone.
2. Whenever I throw 'virtual link' in an area, bird segfaults on startup. I sort of assume my configuration has a logical flaw which is triggering it, but I've yet to see what.
Thanks for the bugreport, i will fix it, it is pretty straightforward. As you are probably the first who tried to use vlinks in OSPFv3, expect some unexpected behavior ;-) .
Hopefully someone can help me out, otherwise I suppose I'll dig into it this weekend.
I did take a quick look at the diff between 1.3.7 and master, but the changes seemed somewhat insignificant for this specific issue. Either way, I'll build it from the master branch tomorrow to test.
