Hello,

please I still don't have some information.

what version of OLSR you are using ?

can you reproduce the same bug with my version of Quagga and the latest OLSR ?

if you can't, then we can say for sure the problem is in QUAGGA MDR.

in such case the only person that can really help you is Vasilis

ciao :)

Saverio

>    So OLSR exported routes as "kernel", that's why "redistribute olsr" command
> in the OSPF configuration did not work! Neither "redistribute kernel" worked because of "inactive" status of routes. (For the network 10.0.0.0/24 only directly connected nodes
