I'm not sure how you are planning on accomplishing this goal. Usually a vipa device is defined with the ip address you wish to reach regardless of the route to get there. You haven't done this, are you intending to create a vipa?
In your ospfd.conf this statement: ospf router-id 172.31.147.5 defines a router id in your area (0.0.0.146) at 172.31.147.5. It is not a network or an ip address, it just uses the same notation to describe a unique 32-bit router id. Also in ospfd.conf you haven't defined a link interface for your 172. interface so ospfd doesn't know about it. try adding: network 172.31.147.0/24 area 0.0.0.146 Of course you have started zebra and ospfd with service zebra start and service ospfd start - or some other way?

Right now I get this from ospfd. show ip ospf neighbor all OSPF Routing Process not enabled The zLinux machine has eth0 172.31.147.5 connected through a vswitch to our cisco 6509. I need to have OSPF advertise 216.113.146.101 as an alternate address for the machine. What parms & addresses do I put in the quagga daemon files? Are there another places to check? zebra.conf interface eth0 ip address 172.31.147.5/24 multicast ipv6 nd suppress-ra ! interface lo ! interface sit0 ipv6 nd suppress-ra ospfd.conf interface eth0 ! interface lo ! interface sit0 ! router ospf ospf router-id 172.31.147.5 passive-interface default no passive-interface eth0 network 216.113.146.101/32 area 0.0.0.146 ----- "David Boyes" <dbo...@sinenomine.net> wrote: > Yes.
