OT - Quagga/CARP

[Michael DeMan]

Hi,

I haven't been able to make headway on the Quagga lists, and I seem  
to recall somewhere a few months ago googling that my problem was  
some kind of know FreeBSD issue.  Googling (and other sources) the  
last week hasn't helped.

In essence, I am wondering if anybody on the FreeBSD side of things  
knows about my problem or a workaround.

We use CARP and HSRP at various locations.

On FreeBSD 5.4 with Quagga 0.99, if there is already a route say to  
10.0.0.0/8, I can not do in Quagga:

ip address 10.0.0.X/8

% Can't set interface IP address: File exists.

I can do 10.0.0.X/16 or 10.0.0.X/4, but not the same identical subnet.

I am unclear if this is a FreeBSD centric issue with Quagga or a  
general Quagga problem and the lists there have not been helpful.

Sorry for the cross-post, but I badly need this working before  
rolling out piles of equipment this summer and am getting desperate.



EXAMPLE:

# sh ip route
O>* 10.197.66.96/27 [110/20] via 216.57.215.249, wi0, 00:57:21
   *                          via 216.57.214.33, wi1, 00:57:21

mfd(config)# int vlan59
mfd(config-if)# ip address 10.197.66.97/27
% Can't set interface IP address: File exists.
mfd(config-if)#
