[Xorp-users] OSPFv2 P2P still uses 224.0.0.5

[Christian Svensson]

Hello.

My configuration looks like this:

area 0.0.0.3 {
           area-type: "normal"
           interface "eth0" {
               link-type: "p2p"
               vif "eth0" {
                   address 10.254.0.1 {
                       priority: 128
                       hello-interval: 10
                       router-dead-interval: 40
                       interface-cost: 5
                       retransmit-interval: 5
                       transit-delay: 1
                       passive: false
                       neighbor 10.254.0.2 {
                           router-id: 10.254.0.2
                       }
                       disable: false
                   }
               }
           }
       }

Looking at the packets that passes out of eth0, the only ones that
seems to be OSPF-related are heading towards 224.0.0.5. My link
between 10.254.0.1 and 10.254.0.2 strips some undocumented segments
from packets and it does not handle multicast at all, thus I'm looking
for a way of using unicast instead of multicast for inter-router
communications. Looking at the OSPFv2 RFC and the P2P mode it appears
that this is what I'm looking for but I could be wrong.

Using Xorp 1.4.
