Hi, Firstly, I think the ospfd man page should mention that it will do the right thing when carp interfaces are added as passive. Currently the only way to find out about this seems to be to search the archives.
Secondly, I have a test environment with a pair of boxes with a large-ish number of vlans and carp interfaces on one side and ospf on the other. Thinking about future maintenance when it gets to production, is there any way to have ospfd announce the carp interfaces without manually listing each in ospfd.conf? Perhaps with an interface group? Of course I could automagically create an includeable config file with the interfaces listed, but I hope there is a better way. It's easier for me to document adding a new interface as find a free block, echo up > hostname.vlanxxx echo foobar carpdev vlanxxx group announceospf > hostname.carpxxx (repeat on other machine) Any extra steps will probably lead to someone screwing up (and I don't want to be the sole person able to do day to day operations on these things...) Thanks Jussi Peltola
