[HECnet] ROOSTA routing problem

[hvlems at zonnet.nl]

Isn't the problem similar to what happens if there would have been two active bridges between two ethernet segments?

  Hmmm.. LEGATO can't talk to ROOSTA ("remote node not currently reachable")
even though there's a direct Multinet link to ROOSTA (and yes, the link is
UP and working).



  I think the problem is that ROOSTA is in area 6, and the area router for 6
is STAR69.   Trouble is, STAR69 doesn't have a path to ROOSTA and doesn't
know how to send it packets.



  (It doesn't help that STAR69 still thinks that ROOSTA is 3.34 - it moved
to 6.134 a while ago - but I don't think that's causing the problem.)
