Make the loopback interface. This is just a bridge that is not connected to anything. /interface bridge add name=OSPF-01 Give the loopback interface an IP address that is unique. Using the loopback with a unique IP won’t let the router go down if a physical interface fails. /ip address add address=172.16.128.1 interface=OSPF-01 network=172.16.128.1 Configure the Router ID /routing/id add disabled=no id=172.16.128.1 name=OSPF-01 select-dynamic-id= Create the OSPF instance. /routing ospf instance add name=OSPF-01 originate-default=always router-id=OSPF-01 Create the OSPF area /routing ospf area add instance=OSPF-01 name=Backbone Build a template for each interface that you want to be included. Can be bridges and/or interfaces. /routing ospf interface-template add area=Backbone interfaces=ospfbr01 networks=172.16.128.1/32 type=passive add area=Backbone interfaces=ether3 networks=192.168.1.0/24 type=ptp add area= interfaces=a-bridge networks=10.0.20.0/24 type=ptp You should do this on both routers (simple example) with the correct IPs for your situation Thats it it should be working. You can check by looking at the routes: /ip routes print OR /routing ospf neighbor print Share this:FacebookTwitterPrintLinkedInLike this:Like Loading... Related
