Afternoon all, I've been working on cleaning up my ospf implementation, so that I will have fewer "external" routes in my route lists. So I've been creating a secondary area, and adding in all the non link subnets to that area, instead of redistributing static.
Most all of my routers have multiple ips on their interfaces. Usually a /30 public block for the link between the two routers, and then say a /28 for the private ips of the link radios. example: [[email protected] 25514] /ip address> print where interface=vlan73 Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic # ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE 0 ;;; SGH2Cali Public 208.xx.xxx.26/29 208.xx.xxx.24 208.xx.xxx.31 vlan73 1 ;;; Link 2 Calidonia 10.104.68.35/28 10.104.68.32 10.104.68.47 vlan73 2 10.100.1.30/29 10.100.1.24 10.100.1.31 vlan73 [[email protected] 25514] /ip address> I created area 2 on both my routers, and put the two private networks into that area. The area type is 'stub', and each router has an interface 'all' that is marked as passive. As soon as I enable the networks on the second router, the routes switch to using the private ips, instead of the public. The public ip's are in the 'backbone' area. Is this due to having area 2 on the two different routers, so they're actually peering as neighbors? Thanks for some insight. -Keith- _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://mail.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
