Subject: [Xorp-users] testing XORP modules
Message-ID: <CALFosU4523FevshCByhtjZT=-bX0mnZjH7iXX-fYW0Q+gMuetw@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I saw that there are tests directory with each module in the source code.
So I think about doing some testing myself. The first problem I encountered
is the ".h" file. When using g++, it cannot find where the header files are
located. After I had that resolved, and compile the source code again with
g++, I still got a lot of error messages. Could someone please let me know
if there is some way to test the code? Since the testing code is already
written, I am sure there should be a way to run the testing code. Thank you
very much.

Best regards,
Wei Wen

Subject: [Xorp-users] Ospf imports with the wrong metric into the kernel

Good day to all,

We have started using xorp as a replacement for bird for the ospf on
our servers however we have noticed an interesting phenomenon.

Any routes imported via ospf gets a kernel metric < 110 which is a
breach of the protocol. I have defined an import policy to
automagically change it to the right metric but maybe there is just a
config rule that I am just missing?

This is a pastebin with all the gory details http://pastebin.com/Lhjk5qJA

Kind regards

You specified the policy in Xorp?  I didn't see it in the pastebin.

Either way, if doing a policy works, then I would just do that unless someone
has time to dig into the code and figure out how to have it choose better
defaults.

Thanks,
Ben

Hi Ben,

Yes I did put the policy in xorp, however I forgot to commit the settings
change and unknowingly the configs was reloaded.

If you want I can upload the changed configs.

I can keep it like it is for now.

I would just suggest that someone just put something in the documentation,
because sometimes the routes gets imported with a kernel metric of one,
which could cause havoc if  you  use static routes in conjuction with xorp.

Is there a place where I can log a bug?

Kind regards
