Hi, I’m planning a routed OSPF network with the following addressing and I would know if it’s a good choice to put also the BTS router with the AP attached in OSPF routing and also if the addresses are correctly choosen.
The L indicates the Loopback.
I would also access to the bridged router that have the radio for PTP but I don’t want to add them in OSPF area, how I can reach them?
I tested redistribute connected and redistribute static and it worked, but now I don’t know why if I redistribute also default route the router from the first to last hop can’t reach the internet.
Anyone?
Hey @ibm -
Sorry if I’m missing something here but which router is your core where your internet connection ties into your network?
I’m assuming you’re running a single OSPF instance all in the backbone area?
The router which maintains the default route to the internet should be the only router and only OSPF instance set to “Distribute Default Route” in your backbone area. This core router should also only specify the /32 loopback(s) and /30 link network(s) in /routing ospf network
The other routers should be specifying the /32 loopback network and /30 link network(s) in /routing ospf network. These routers should (could) be set to “Redistribute Connected”.
Again, I am making some assumptions so the above might be wrong. But, I hope it gives you some pointers. Let me know.
And to end, I would recommend you add a link in your network to close off a loop and create redundancy. Say BTSB to BTSC ??
Thanks a lot for the answer.
The router that have internet connectivity is the PPPoE server, so only it have redistribute-default enabled.
Actually the connectivity isn’t really necessary on the core routers because on the endpoint routers there is a eoip tunnel that allows pppoe to server.
For the loop to redound the network is there any precaution to be taken (I mean the cost and priority settings)?
I post you the export, can you give a check also to the MTU?
This is the PPPoE server test configuration:

The IP addresses in your config don’t match up to the IP’s on your diagram for PPPoE Server and AP1. Also, you show no config for Router BTSC. Also, you specify a loopback (lo) but you never add its subnet to /routing ospf network. You should, as it will tie the lo interface to the default instance and prevent the instance from going down in the case of a link failure.
If you are doing EoIP you need to form EoIP from PPPoE Server to Router BTSC and then to AP1.
Also, bear in mind that because EoIP is bridging a flat layer2 network, you cannot introduce loops in it.
I use MTU 1530 on any EoIP tunnels that I create in my network. However, I do not know about or use PPPoE but I do know there are some MTU regulations on that.
In regards to forming redundancy from BTSB to BTSC, you shouldn’t need to change the path cost on the OSPF Interfaces. The default is 10 and the costs should calculate accordingly. However, if you wish to force traffic to flow a certain direction than you do need to modify path cost.
As for priority, the router with the higher priority (higher number) will take precedence in being the DR (designated router).
I will pull some config snippets from my network where I have EoIP running 3 hops out from my core router. Don’t have time to do it right now.
Sorry I forgot to say that I refer to AP1 connected to router BTSA (the upper in diagram).
Why have I set EoIP tunnel on BTS Routers? I need PPPoE client only on AP.
