Rip updates over ipsec tunnels

Hello

It seams there is a problem on router os regarding RIP updates. I added

/routing rip network add 10.2.0.0/24 on router 2

It only appeared in router 1 after rebooted router 2. Is there any other way ? RIp should send the update automatically every 30 secs

Is it any other way besides this? I really cannot reboot 25 routers every time i add a route.

version? routing package?

Version 3.29 and on packages it is 3.29 as well on routing

could you please check it with the latest version (4.2)?

also, why RIP? maybe OSPF will be good for you? =)

It seams it got updated in v 4.2. Added a test network and it got updated. I haven’t tried ospf, seams really complicated on the router os. I used ospf on cisco and it was easy mode to configure with 1 area, but here it is sooo complicated. Might try it though.

from the http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/OSPF#Configuring_OSPF :

One command is required to start OSPF on MikroTik RouterOS - add network in ospf network menu.

this one command is sooooo complicated )))

Add network is not enough since that will not work over at VPN tunnel
How can i configure ospf over a tunnel? Cause if i add a directly connected route (add network 192.168.2.0/24) i will see the ether5 interface in the ospf interface menu, while tunnel1 is still down.
Anyone knows how to configure ospf over an ipsec tunnel?

have you read the manual and understand, what the ‘network’ is?

network (IP prefix; Default: ) - the network prefix associated with the area. OSPF will be enabled on all interfaces that has at least one address falling within this range. Note that the network prefix of the address is used for this check (i.e. not the local address). For point-to-point interfaces this means the address of the remote endpoint.

Ok i added the other end of the tunnel ip. and i added redistribute connected, but how can i filter some networks?
I want connected 192.168.1.0/24 and 10.124.0.0/16 for example , but i don’t want to redistribute the WAN ip over the tunnel.
and how can i add certain networks over 1 tunnel while other networks over the other tunnel?

I pretty much got all figure it out:

I can filter the public ip not to be redistribuited with OSPF

But i still have 1 problem which i cannot shake:

client 2
|
location 1-----------------------------------------location 2--------------------------client 1
|
client 3
location 1: 192.168.1.0/24
location 2: 192.168.2.0/24
client 1: 192.168.3.0/24
client 2: 192.168.4.0/24
client 3: 192.168.5.0/24

Now i want to redistribute all the routes to location 1 (for example) and location 1 to all the clients so i can have direct access in those networks, but i don’t want routes between client networks.
How would be the best way to do this?

  1. 1 separate area for every customer?
  2. Can it be done with routing filters?
    If someone has a solution for this pls share it

Thank you.
