Hello,

You people seem like the most appropriate audience for this one, so:

I'm trying to make a firewall talk OSPF to a cisco router via gated.
Gated starts fine, but the neighbor never comes up.  There are two
routers outside the firewall; one is the default gateway, the other is
a private link to a distant part of the Net.

I'd appreciate any help pinpointing the problem.

We're running gated version 3.5.10.

A gdc dump shows:

<miscellaneous crud deleted for brevity>

Task OSPF:
        RouterID: <firewall external IP>
        Preference:     Inter/Intra: 10 External: 150

Although the dump shows no packets received, a tcpdump on the machine in question shows quite a few OSPF packets from the other machine, i.e.:

14:03:06.456058 <outside router IP> > OSPF-ALL.MCAST.NET: OSPFv2-hello 44: 
backbone [|] [tos 0xc0] [ttl 1]

Our gated.conf reads:

routerid <outside interface IP> ;

rip no;

ospf yes {

        backbone {
                authtype none ;

        interface ed0 nonbroadcast cost 1 {
                enable;
                priority 1;
                retransmitinterval 5;
                hellointerval 30;
                routers {
                        <external router IP> eligible ;
                        } ;
                };
        };
};

static {
        default gateway <ext. gateway IP> interface ed0 preference 3 retain;
       192.168.0.0 mask 255.255.0.0 gateway 192.168.134.1 interface xl0 retain;
};

I can provide any other debugging info that might be helpful.

Thanks!
