I want to configure OSPF on mikrotik, and I’m facing a problem, that I can not overcome.
My mikrotik with ros7.12 does not send any ospf hello, no matter what config is. I did not find official mikrotik OSPF document helping, cause more than half of it just explaning how protocols works. There is L3 bidirectionally connectivity between nodes over p2p /31 link, even loopback address of other node is reachable.
Other node sends hello, and I can see those in torch. Worth mentioning, Nokia and Cisco establish neigboring with no problem and everythig works.
So i think problem is in mikrotik here, but at this moment, I have no clue where to look.
The OSPF documentation in the https://mikrotikdocs.fyi/ website is a good supplement to what is in the official docs. It also has some troubleshooting hints.
Well, thanks a lot for that website, havent seen before. And it actually helped (article), routers became neighbors. But about MTU, as I know missmatching it only leads to losing adjacency, but hello packets will be sent anyway.
Guess it should help with /31 quriks and introduces IS-IS support. I only needed OSPF to redistribute some routes mikrotik has into IS-IS network, so upgrade woild solve primarily problem (lack of IS-IS support). But anyway, I’m not used to mikrotik paradigm about software, and not used to software update as problem solving. So, it was not considered in a first way. Thanks anyway.
