[Xorp-users] the static route doesn't appear at first 'xorp_rtrmgr' launch...?

[Hervé Léonard]

Hello,

I try to configure 2 routers xorp with a config file at launch on a Linux
2.6 (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron) with this command:
sudo /usr/sbin/xorp_rtrmgr -b /etc/xorp/config.boot

Here is my testbed configuration:

Station1                Router1                     Router2
Station2
     eth0 -----------eth0    eth1 -------------- eth1     eth0 ------------
eth0
192.168.2.2 ---- 192.168.2.1  100.0.0.1 ---- 100.0.0.2   192.168.3.1 ----
192.168.3.2

On Router2, for example, I have put this in the config.boot (generated by
save command):

/*XORP Configuration File, v1.0*/
protocols {
    static {
        disable: false
        route 192.168.2.0/24 {
            next-hop: 100.0.0.1
            metric: 1
        }
    }
}
fea {
    unicast-forwarding4 {
        disable: false
        forwarding-entries {
            retain-on-startup: false
            retain-on-shutdown: false
        }
    }
}
interfaces {
    restore-original-config-on-shutdown: false
    interface eth0 {
        description: "Ethernet Interface #1"
        disable: false
        discard: false
        unreachable: false
        management: false
        vif eth0 {
            disable: false
            address 192.168.3.1 {
                prefix-length: 24
                broadcast: 192.168.3.255
                disable: false
            }
        }
    }
    interface eth1 {
        description: "Ethernet Interface #2"
        disable: false
        discard: false
        unreachable: false
        management: false
        vif eth1 {
            disable: false
            address 100.0.0.2 {
                prefix-length: 8
                broadcast: 100.255.255.255
                disable: false
            }
        }
    }
}

The first time, the 2 interfaces are configured but the static route doesn't
appear. Then I shutdown xorp et restart xorp_rtrmgr. And after that, I can
see the static route.

Here my shell log:

##
## Start of xorp_rtrmgr the first time

I try with a different config.boot file, with the "interfaces" configuration
node before the "protocols" configuration node, but the result is the
same....

Do I use correctly the config.boot file?
Or is there any solution to have a correct configuration in one shot?
