This should be a REALLY, REALLY simple OSPF config. I have 2 VM running FRR that I would like to announce their /32 loopback address between each other. The config is as below:
ip forwarding
ipv6 forwarding

interface ens192
ip ospf area 0
ip ospf network broadcast

router ospf
router-id <LOOPBACK_IPV4>
maximum-paths 32
redistribute connected

Both VMs has a single NIC (ens192) configured to a /24 subnet (10.0.121.0/24). Both can ping each other. However when showing the route to the neighbor’s loopback vice versa, It shows that the route is inactive.

Is this some sort of default FRR behavior? Sorry I’m not great with OSPF 😅
What are methods that I can use to find out the cause of a route/prefix in a routing protocol not being installed into the forwarding table?
