[Xorp-users] Address not adding

[Emmanuel A. Adigun]

Thanks Palvin.
I want to configure two addresses in RIP solely to monitor routes
advertisements, i.e. request and update packets sent and received. 

I'm also trying to create peer groups because at the moment when I say "show
rip peer statistics all" there are no known peers.

I'll try using a policy.
At the moment it's working with two addresses and no more but there is no
request and updates packets sent and received.

Many thanks,
Emmanuel

Please try with enabling only one RIP address per interface/vif.

I did some testings and it seems that currently you cannot enable
more than address per interface/vif inside the RIP configuration.

For the record, the root of the error is that on the systems I
tested (Linux with kernel 2.6.20 and FreeBSD-4.10), you cannot join
twice the same multicast group on the same socket with IP addresses
that belong to the same interface. I.e.,
"Join(G, Ifaddr1)" and "Join(G, Ifaddr2)" on the same socket will
fail if Ifaddr1 and Ifaddr2 belong to the same network interface,
but will succeed if they belong to different network interfaces.


Could you explain the reason you want to configure 2+ addresses
(on the same interface) inside RIP. E.g., is it because you want to
advertise the routes for each IP address or for some other reason?
I believe that using a policy to export the "connected" routes will
advertise the routes even if you enable only one of the IP addresses
inside the RIP configuration, though I haven't explicitly tested
that.

Thanks,
Pavlin
