Hi All, Thanks for the information. This is a huge problem for me, we badly need redundancy capabilities. I'm surprised something like this hasn't been addressed long ago. I guess a lot of the focus is on SMP and 'big servers' and not router/appliance functionality in the newer FBSD releases. Anyway, thanks very much for the information. I'm going to have to figure out some kind of workaround on my architecture. In the worst case, I can shut off OSPF on the edge routers and use static routes upstream and OSPF from there, but that is going to be a real nightmare for network maintenance over the long haul. Thanks for the information anyway. This has been driving me nuts the past few months. - mike On Mar 16, 2006, at 11:37 AM, Bruce M Simpson wrote: > On Thu, Mar 16, 2006 at 07:35:20PM +0100, Bart Van Kerckhove wrote: >> Is this by design, or just lack of time/interest? >> If anyone feels up to the task of fixing/implementing what's >> needed to make >> this work, we'd be happy to sponsor its development. > > This is a collision between the connected route implicitly created > by configuring an interface which has the same prefix length as > an existing route in the FreeBSD FIB. > > This is a known issue and is by design. > > Most BSD-derived implementations have this limitation.
