[Xorp-users] xorp with click and RIP

[Robert Joseph Suk]

Hello,
  I'm trying to set up a xorp/click configuration which 
runs RIP. I have RIP working with xorp, but when I enable 
the user click forwarding path, I get strange behavior. If 
I 'duplicate-routes-to-kernel' everything works fine. 
However, when I don't duplicate routes-to-kernel, the 
routes still show up in xorpsh (show route table ipv4 
unicast rip/final), but if I ping any of those addresses, 
I get 'no route to host'. Xorp also cannot send RIP 
updates, getting the send_from_multicast_if failed.

The reason I want to turn 'duplicate-routes-to-kernel' 
off, is so that I can check that the click forwarding path 
is working.

I already added a static route 0.0.0.0/0 to an attached 
interface, and put "multicast_host="YES"" in my rc.conf.
I'm running BSD6.2, and my xorp config is below. The click 
config I'm running is simply the one generated by 
'make-ip-conf.pl' which is a basic IP router
Any ideas why xorp sees the routes in xorpsh but can't use 
them?
