[Xorp-users] A question on exporting connected routes into OSPF

[Donghai Ma]

 Hello List,

I am new to XORP and having difficulties to get XORP to distribute connected
routes into OSPF.  For example, after I add an address to eth1:
     $ ip addr add 8.65.1.10/32 dev eth1

I'd like the connected route 8.65.1.10/32 be distributed by the OSPF
process.

After reading through the XORP manual I have the latest 1.4 release running
on my Linux box.  The OSPF process is receiving routes correctly from the
upstream router.  But the route export/distribution does not work as I had
hoped.  When I add or delete ip addresses the XORP process does not do OSPF
LS Update.

My question is: does XORP currently support this kind of route
distribution?  And if yes how to make this work?

Any help is very much appreciated!

Thanks,

-Donghai Ma

Here is my configuration:
