OSPF : virtual-link and passive-interface default parameters does not work together
Closed, ResolvedPublicBUG
Actions

Description

The below topology has three areas (area 0, 1, 2) and area 0 and 2 are not directly connected to each other. In order to reach each other, virtual link is configured for area 1. But when passive interface default is also added to the configuration, then the communication disconnects between each other.

Configuration:
Without passive-interface default
R1:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '4.0.0.1/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '5.0.0.1/24'
set interfaces loopback lo address '1.1.1.1/32'
set protocols ospf area 0 network '5.0.0.0/24'
set protocols ospf area 1 network '4.0.0.0/24'
set protocols ospf area 1 virtual-link 2.2.2.2
set protocols ospf log-adjacency-changes
set protocols ospf parameters abr-type 'cisco'
set protocols ospf parameters router-id '1.1.1.1'

R2:

set interfaces ethernet eth0 address '4.0.0.2/24'
set interfaces ethernet eth1 address '6.0.0.2/24'
set interfaces loopback lo address '2.2.2.2/32'
set protocols ospf area 1 network '4.0.0.0/24'
set protocols ospf area 1 virtual-link 1.1.1.1
set protocols ospf area 2 network '6.0.0.0/24'
set protocols ospf log-adjacency-changes
set protocols ospf parameters router-id '2.2.2.2'

Output:

64 bytes from 6.0.0.2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=63 time=1.69 ms

When the following lines are added in both routers, then the config breaks:

set proto ospf passive-interface default
set proto ospf passive-interface-exclude eth0
set proto ospf passive-interface-exclude eth1

The vlink0 disappears from the ospf neighborship, and vlink0 option does not show below passive-interface-exclude interface options.

Details

Difficulty level

Why the issue appeared?
Will be filled on close
Is it a breaking change?
Unspecified (possibly destroys the router)

@SrividyaA Can you recheck it in 1.4?

SrividyaA added a comment.Feb 1 2021, 10:00 AM

@Viacheslav , working on it and update you soon.

@Viacheslav , I tested in the 1.4 version, it seems that the neighborship is stuck in ExStart state with basic config. This behavior is not seen in 1.2.5 and 1.3
And also no frr.log is created.
