Hello J. Use of the Zebra Routing Engine is not very wide spread in the leaf project(yet...). The best place to pose this question would be the zebra mailing list. Here is the link to subscribe. http://www.zebra.org/mailing.html

In order for routes to propagate, both interfaces must have an IP address that exists in the Primary subnet of the other interface. Also, routes can propagate in only one direction if one interface is running on the Primary address/subnet and the other on the Secondary. Example: Routers A and B are connected to each other via thier eth0 interfaces. router A : eth0: 10.0.0.1/24, 172.16.0.1/24 router B: eth0: 192.168.1.1/24, 10.0.0.2/24 Note that router B's Secondary IP address of 10.0.0.2/24 exists on the subnet of the Primary IP address of 10.0.0.1/24 on Router A Now, routes from router A will propagate to router B But, routes from router B WILL NOT propagate to router A. Now this is OK as long as router A is the downstream router supplying router B and router B's default gateway is router A. But routes will become unreachable by some on the network if it is the other way around. If anyone has found out anything additional or find an error in my analysis, please respond.
