Greetings, I have a network with four routers on an OSPF backbone. Only one of
the four routers cannot export the type 5 LSA entries to the kernel. I cannot
figure out why. I wonder if I might kindly ask some guidance.
The routers (including the problem router) are all BIRD 2.0.7 with the router
with IP 10.10.4.1 running 2.0.4. The kernels are Linux 4.20.x.
Here is the OSPF for a working router:
> protocol ospf backbone {
> ipv4 {
> export all;
> import filter { if net = 0.0.0.0/0 then reject; else accept; };
> };
> area 0.0.0.0 {
> interface "eno2" {};
> interface "vti*" {
> type nbma;
> strict nonbroadcast yes;
> neighbors {
> 10.9.254.2 eligible;
> };
> };
> };
> }
The OSPF configuration of the router having problems. They are virtually
identical with the exception of the interfaces:
> protocol ospf backbone {
> ipv4 {
> export all;
> import filter { if net = 0.0.0.0/0 then reject; else accept; };
> };
> area 0.0.0.0 {
> interface "bond0" {
> };
> interface "vti*" {
> type nbma;
> neighbors {
> 10.9.255.1 eligible;
> 10.9.254.1 eligible;
> };
> };
> };
> }
All the routers have *identical* LSADBs on each router (not shown). master4 is
correct on the working routers:

The router with problems does *not* have a correct copy of master4 table, it is
missing all of the LSA type 5 entries. So of course they cannot be exported to
kernel on that router:

What I cannot figure out is why the OSPF entries are not imported to master4 on
this single machine.
Thanks kindly for any thoughts.
