I've been playing with routed/gated and RIP off and on for a couple of months in the hope that it will help ease my suffering when it comes to maintaining eight zillion routing entries on various machines. I keep coming up with the same problem: (tcpdump grab) 20:44:37.760592 tarkin.smlab.com.router > 192.168.2.255.router: rip-resp 5: 192.168.2.0(1) core1-akron.raex.net(1) 208.132.36.0(1) 10.0.0.0(2) 0.0.0.0(1) [ttl 1] (id 8214) The problem is that 10.0.0.0/8 route that keeps getting sent around. I have several 10.x.0.0/16 and 10.x.y.0/24 routes being used, but the /8 is what's being advertised... This is why I usually give up and do all the routing manually. :( (There are no /8's defined, other than what RIP puts into the routing tables.) I admit that my gut feeling is that I'm missing something stupid, but is it possible that this is a "feature" of RIP? (BTW: I've tried both RIPv1 and RIPv2) --mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
