LARTC - Jun 2004 - [Fwd: [quagga-users 2122] Linux advanced routing & quagga]

Hi Everyone;

Please find below a mail I sent to quagga mailing list, covering
lartc/quagga issue.

So far, I have no reply from them. I think that maybe you guys would
have an idea about this.

Thanks in advance !
Best,

Hi There, 

I''m new to quagga and to dynamic routing in general, so please forgive
me if my question are foobar.

I''m trying to setup a linux router (Fedora Core 2, kernel 2.6.5) with
Quagga & OSPF. 

Our linux router is also a firewall, doing advanced policy routing (eg,
it''s having multiple routing tables, other than
''main''; all used for
specific purposes.)

This linux router is directly connected to a CISCO router, doing ospf. 

In order to use OSPF routes on the linux router, we''ve setup quagga
(v0.96).

Both devices are populating routes to each others, so the quagga/ospfd
setup is ok.

However, we met 2 problems:

1) A default route is advertised by the CISCO router to our linux
router. The guys controlling the CISCO router told us they couldn''t do
anything for this; therefore I wanted to know if there was a way to
configure quagga to ignore OSPF default routes, appart from forcing a
static default route within Quagga. 

2) Quagga seems to only use the ''main'' table. But since we are
using
policy routing, is there any way we could tell Quagga to put it''s OSPF
routes in another routing table ? Does this make any sense ?

More generally, is it possible to use both policy routing and dynamic
routing ?

Thanks in advance for your valuable help !
