Re: Default route depending on

Linux does support OSPF, since the 2.4 kernel IIRC. Each computer that you
want to take advantage of dynamic routing will need to run some sort of
daemon. routed would work if you only want to run RIP, but for OSPF (or
mixed OSPF/RIP) networks quagga (or http://www.zebra.org/ the core of
quagga) is what you want.
I first wanted to use zebra. But all newer distributions I worked with (SuSE 9.3, Debian sarge 3.1) came with quagga. So I decided to go on with quagga. Especially because it seems to be ahead in development.

Without the ospfd, there is nothing that would
understand what routers are up and available and what there "costs" are,
and nothing to change the route table.
Thanks, that's what I wanted to know. I thought may be a package like iproute2 has a command included which can do that. And I don't like the idea very much to install and configure that daemon on every host. But it can be automated, so it's not a big problem.

Klaus
