While the router starts and reads routes from a Cisco router (IOS 9.21(17), AGS+), it does not add routes to the Ciscos route table. I hope to use FreeBSD as an alternative to a $5k (Aust) Cisco 25xx for choke and screening routers and while the screen won't need OSPF the internal (choke) may. (Routed is a less flexible alternative - I don't know how to inject RIP metrics to the OSPF process so I must run RIP on the Cisco & this negates the advantage of OSPF - avoiding broadcasting router tables) Some details: . The Cisco does not use OSPF security. . Both routers are in the same area (0.0.0.0) . The Cisco sends "hellos" with the default intervals - and I haven't set an interval to gated . Both routers share an ethernet Thank you very much. Yours sincerely, S Hopcroft Australian Industrial Property Organisation (aka Patents Office)
