I want to announce a host-route to the address of a tun0 interface over OSPF. The config snippet I use for this looks like:
interface tun0:217.197.85.96 { passive depend on carp0 } With this configuration, the tun interface is permanently marked DOWN and the route is not announced: Interface Address State HelloTimer Linkstate Uptime nc ac tun0 217.197.85.96/32 DOWN - active 00:00:00 0 0 If I omit 'passive' it works as expected: interface tun0:217.197.85.96 { depend on carp0 } Interface Address State HelloTimer Linkstate Uptime nc ac tun0 217.197.85.96/32 P2P 00:00:06 active 00:02:13 0 0 However, osfpd now sends useless OSPF packets, and my logs are being spammed with the message: send_packet: error sending packet on interface tun0: Permission denied I believe this is a bug. I expect to be able to announce the address of a passive point-to-point interface with ospfd.
