[I'm not sure of my choice of mailing lists, see the discussion at the end.]
We use only Linux routers and, from time to time, we have phantom routes. I mean routes that once were legitimate (learned via BGP) but should have been suppressed when BGP info changed and were not. These routes are displayed by Zebra as "kernel" routes (the normal routes are displayed as "ospf" or "bgp") and restarting Zebra does not make them disappear. I have to manually delete them. Rebooting, a la MS-Windows, solves everything. FreeBSD zealots keep bothering me that it is because Linux does not know RTF_STATIC ($KERNEL/include/linux/route.h), which prevents to pinpoint phantom routes. It seems true but this flag in nevertheless in GNU libc's headers (/usr/include/net/route.h). So, who is wrong, Linux, Zebra or me? What can I do to solve the problem? What can I do to workaround the problem? (Anyone has a Perl script which will telnet to the Zebra console and find all "kernel" routes?) Kernel 2.4.9 and 2.4.17. Zebra 0.92. PS: Regarding the choice of the mailing lists. The problem seems to be Linux-specific but I cannot find a good mailing list to discuss this sort of stuff (RTF_STATIC...). Don't tell me to subscribe to linux-kernel, I cannot swallow hundreds of messages relarted with the VM or with the device drivers. Feel free to reply in private (I'll summarize) or to reply only to the list you find suitable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
