[Xorp-users] Interface & port mgt in Xorp.

[Ben Greear]

Hello!

Is there any way to tell a running Xorp (OSPF) server to change the IP 
of a port
without restarting Xorp?  Maybe a SIGHUP to tell it to re-read it's 
config file or similar?

I am considering a very dynamic network where routers will
be logically changing their network connections.  For instance, start 
with  R1-eth0 connected to R2-eth0
but later change R1-eth0 to connect to R3-eth2 (on a different subnet).  
I would like the routers
to deal with this gracefully and re-establish the OSPF routing tree(s) 
for the affected link quickly.

Also can ports be added/removed to/from a running Xorp configuration?

Thanks,
Ben
