I have the following configuration (testing for now): ... protocol direct { table testtable; interface "gre1"; } protocol kernel { table testtable; kernel table 200; export all; } /* Some other ospf configuration */ ... Then, we get: # birdc BIRD 1.0.5 ready. bird> show route table testtable 192.168.0.0/30 dev gre1 [direct1 18:36] (240) 192.168.4.0/24 via 192.168.1.2 on gre2 [testOSPF 18:46] I (150/30) bird> Great, that is what we want. On the other end: # ip route list table 200 192.168.4.0/24 via 192.168.1.2 dev gre1 proto bird # The ospf stuff has been exported, not the rest... Any reason? Guillaume.
