OSPF Filter

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

I’m trying to apply a filter to OSPF routers, and I can’t do it between areas. It means, routers generated in area1 can’t be filtered (with discard) via ospf-out chain in /routing/filter menu. Route remains at routing table of area 0 routers.

Looking up at google I’ve find out that at Mikrotik’s Wiki:
internal (intra-area) OSPF filtering is not supported yet

Have I missunderstood the message of the wiki? or is it just opposite?.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

Nobody at staff people can answer?

Hi,

What you’re trying to achieve can be done within ospf section “area range”:

/routing ospf area range

Not from filters

It is worth remembering that OSPF peers are not simply exchanging routes since they exchange link state information then use SPF to build the corresponding routes from their own perspective, thus some things are handled differently from BGP/EIGRP/RIP etc. .

What is the original aim?.
