"OSPF not enabled on this interface" FreeBSD Quagga ospfd interface status

While trying to configuring ospf on a FreeBSD Quagga installed server, I couldn't get ospf to use any of the interfaces.

For all of them, "sh ip ospf int" showed OSPF not enabled on this interface:

Code:

test_ospf# sh ip ospf interface
em0 is up
  ifindex 3, MTU 1500 bytes, BW 0 Kbit <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
  OSPF not enabled on this interface
gre0 is up
  ifindex 5, MTU 1476 bytes, BW 0 Kbit <UP,POINTOPOINT,RUNNING,LINK0,LINK1,MULTICAST>
  OSPF not enabled on this interface
lo0 is up
  ifindex 4, MTU 16384 bytes, BW 0 Kbit <UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST>
  OSPF not enabled on this interface
pflog0 is up
  ifindex 6, MTU 33208 bytes, BW 0 Kbit <UP,RUNNING,PROMISC>
  OSPF not enabled on this interface
rl0 is up
  ifindex 2, MTU 1500 bytes, BW 0 Kbit <UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
  OSPF not enabled on this interface

  OSPF not enabled on this interface

I enabled link-detection, ospf priority

Upgrading quagga to latest version (quagga-0.99.15_4) didn't help.

I tried adding all the networks to area 0 of ospf, but nothing.

Finally the solution was to compile quagga port in freeBSD to use TCPSOCKETS.

Code:

# make config

The difference is that now ospfd/ripd/bgpd daemons don't get interface information from zebra daemon through the unix socket /var/run/quagga/zserv.api, but through the TCP socket on port 2600 (Inter-process communication is done via TCP socket, instead of unix domain socket). Example:

Code:

# lsof -Pni :2600
COMMAND   PID   USER   FD   TYPE     DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
zebra   45354 quagga    7u  IPv4 0xc3ca0ae0      0t0  TCP 127.0.0.1:2600 (LISTEN)

Here's a sample of the "sh ip ospf int" command in ospfd after compiling quagga with TCPSOCKETS.
