I have a VM host which acts as a quagga router. It announces routes to its hosted VM's (I don't use bridges, only routed VM's)

It works well when tun interface is configured with a /30 ; for example :

$ ip a
4: gentoo: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UNKNOWN qlen 500
    link/ether 2a:c8:0a:ae:cc:c1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 10.42.1.5/30 brd 10.42.1.7 scope global gentoo
    inet6 fe80::5c23:52ff:fec1:f2b7/128 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::28c8:aff:feae:ccc1/64 scope link 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

But I want to put some publicy-routed IP's on some VMs, without wasting 3 IP's for the network, broadcast, and host IP ; for example :

$ ip ro
94.23.110.211 dev gentoo  scope link 

The route is shown in "show ip route" quagga command

arrakeen# show ip route

But as you can see, it's not in OSPF's fib

Is there a way to force them into ospf ?

Here is the ospfd.conf :

! -*- ospf -*-
!
hostname arrakeen
!
interface eth0
!
router ospf
 ospf router-id 10.42.42.21
 redistribute static
 redistribute connected
 network 10.42.1.0/24 area 0
 network 10.42.42.0/24 area 0
 network 94.23.110.210/28 area 0
!
log file /var/log/quagga/ospfd.log

Thanks,

redistribute kernel did the trick

    You should add the router to Quagga and use redistribute static though. Mar 21, 2013 at 16:22
