Hello there,
Need your help in configuring BIRD for ospf.
I have 2 nodes running open wrt linux and bird version 1.1.1. The bird binary has been cross-compiled for the ARM platform. OSPF is configured in bird.conf for each node.
Node 1 has 3 network interfaces and Node 2 has 4 network interfaces. Below is how Node 1 and 2 topologies are organized
Node 1(192.168.3.20) <-------> Node2(192.168.3.10)
(192.168.1.1) (192.168.4.10)
(192.168.4.20) (192.168.5.10)
Please note that Nodes 1 and 2 communicate only via 192.168.3.* network and the other interfaces on each node are independent.
Now the issue here is that the routing tables between the 2 nodes aren't synchronized. Node 1 can ping the 192.168.3.10 and 192.168.5.10 IP addresses on Node 2. However there is no route to 192.168.1.* on Node 2.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Below is what the bird configuration looks like on each individual node:
