[Xorp-users] BadPeer ...: Area ... not handled by eth0/eth0

[Dirk H. Schulz]

Hi Folks,

I am new to running routers on my own and new to Xorp and OSPF.

I have setup two routers using ospf. They are two communication with two 
upstream routers using ospf as well. Now my own routers find each other as 
neighbors (the do not find the upstream routers, but that is a problem I 
have to solve with the upstream provider, I think).

They seem to work, my routers, but both put out the following message every 
few seconds:

	BadPeer from line 379 of peer.cc: Area 217.64.164.128 not handled by 
eth0/eth0

I have not found anything relating in the docs, in Google nor elsewhere.

217.64.164.128 is the subnet used for area 0.0.0.1 on interface bond0 on 
both routers. I do not understand why it should be handled by eth0 which 
has a setting of 217.64.170.238/29 resp. 217.64.170.230/29.

This is the configuration of one router, the other is nearly identical 
(just other IP addresses):

Any ideas? Every hint or help is appreciated.
