Hi all, coming back to the 'bird' operation on my hamradio site after two years, or perhaps more, I noted that the actual bird version(s) and including the today 'git' version cause the destruction of AXUDP links of another hamradio application (XNET) which is running on the same 'linux box'. No problem at all with the very fisrt 1.3.x BIRD releases in the same identical situation. I'm running the OSPFv2 by using the following configuration: protocol ospf { tick 2; # rfc1583compat yes; area 0.0.0.254 { stub no; networks { 44.208.0.0/16; 44.134.32.0/24; 44.134.33.0/24; 10.0.0.0/8; }; interface "ax0" { stub; }; interface "ax1" { stub; }; interface "sl0" { stub; }; interface "tun0" { stub; }; interface "ppp0" { type ptp; }; interface "tap0" { type broadcast; }; interface "eth*" { type broadcast; }; }; } Now, my XNET application, apart the AXUDP links towards other XNET or similar nodes, is liked to the linux 'slip' sl0' interface (SDEV0) and to the AX25 'ax0' interface (SDEV1). SDEV0 : SLIP Driver: 38400 Baud SDEV1 : KISS Driver: 38400 Baud However the OSPFv2 (and probably the RIPv2 not yet running here) seems to run OK on its routing task. gus i0ojj
