OSPF and short disconnects

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hi,

I’m still experimenting with OSPF and made this observation:

0s - link goes down
1s - OSPF has removed the route from all routers
3s - link comes back up
30s - OSPF re-added route to all routers

So with short wireless disconnects which are usually not a problem OSPF will create a problem by taking too long to publish the changes.

How can I tell OSPF to either wait 10s before removing a route or updating the routing table immediately when the route comes back up?

Regards

Add the wireless interfaces into a bridge at either end with the only ports in it the wireless interface.

The reason OSPF dropped upon disconnect is the interface/ip become unavailable and OSPF takes this to be down

So, if I understand you right the idea is to add the wireless interface to a bridge, assign the IP to the bridge and add OSPF on the bridge interface, so that the interface will never go down and then use the Router Dead interval to set the timeout?

Thats correct
