Hi, I've found that if an interface is declared passive (or is a CARP interface) in ospf6d.conf, ospf6d will not send LSAs for that interface, and any associated prefixes will not be advertised. This is contrary to the behaviour in ospfd and what I would expect.
The problem appears to be that orig_intra_lsa_rtr in rde.c assumes that if an interface is in the down state we should not include that interface in intra-area LSAs, which is incorrect - a passive interface will be in the down state by definition and we still want to advertise the attached prefix. The patch below fixes the issue for me. I'd appreciate any comments, as I'd like to deploy this in production.
