OSPF on bridged network and redundency

RouterOS Forwarding Protocols
1

Hi guys

I am trying to create a ospf to help with redundency and full duplex link. I need to have R1 link to R4 via wireless and R1 to R2 via ethernet.

What is the best way to proceed with this task. i have added ospf on all routers with ip range of 192.168.1.0/24.

Ive also tried removing bridge from R1 and giving the wireless a 192.168.1.50/24 and ether 192.168.1.51/24. all works fine but the moment i simulate a break betweenR1 and R4 i cant ping .51 or .50

Please advise the best way forword.

Thanks

Since they are all bridged and in the same network, you don’t need OSPF. However, you will want to make sure all your bridges are set to rstp.

In bridged rstp will the trafic flow both directions from R1 or will this only flow one direction and if one side fails it will choose a different path?

i really would like to run ospf but need to leave parts of the network untouched(bridged) and expand the network from R1 side. How should i configure OSPF on R1, R4 and R2 and can i leave the R3 in bridge?

No, either bridge or router. With same subnet’s it does not become anything.
Please use STP or RSTP.
