badly selected OSPF route. ignored cost

hi

i have made a lab with diagram as in

.

R2 should pick default route through R1. Unfortunatelly it does not. It installs default route from ospf with cost=31 via R3. If I tear down link between R3 and R2, R2 installs default route via R1 (which is desired). This route has cost=11. When link between R2 and R3 comes up, R2 installs back "wrong" route via R3.

I have reproduced exactly the same setup in GNS3 with mikrotik in qemu and on cisco IOS. On cisco no such problem was present.

Either there is some option witch I forgot to set, or mikrotik has a bug.

Re: badly selected OSPF route. ignored cost

Hi,
I'm happy to see someone with a lab test showing this problem.
We've got similar problem with ROS OSPF routing.
In our production environment, all OSPF route with the best cost are installed in routing table and that is the correct behavior for OSPF. However, we got a loop on our backbone and when one link goes down and get back after a while, external route distributed through this link is use whenever the cost is !

I don't have much more information but I guess this could be related with time synchronisation.

Do your lab setup have pefect time synchronisation ?

Edit: It looks like a multiarea OSPF problem. It seems to be described in RFC5185 as describe in ths post:
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... hilit=ospf

Regards,

I do not think so. Problem described in link is a different one. R2 knows about 2 paths. intra and inter area. R2 does not install intra area path (witch should).
