From 9ff5257357d9975654279db17bbc8525583ba1cc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ondrej Zajicek Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:22:31 +0200 Subject: Better handling of global addresses as configured NBMA neighbors in OSPFv3. Configured NBMA neighbors in OSPFv3 should be link-local addresses, old behavior was to silently ignore global ones. The patch allows BIRD to accept global ones, but adds a warning and a documentation notice. Thanks to Wilco Baan Hofman for the bugreport. --- doc/bird.sgml | 5 ++++- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'doc/bird.sgml') diff --git a/doc/bird.sgml b/doc/bird.sgml index e83cf0e1..8e5641e0 100644 --- a/doc/bird.sgml +++ b/doc/bird.sgml @@ -2212,7 +2212,10 @@ protocol ospf <name> { neighbors { A set of neighbors to which Hello messages on NBMA or PtMP networks are to be sent.
