OSPF Mikrotik/Huawei - wrong instance

Mon Jun 18, 2018 7:10 pm

hi, I would like to configure the OSPF between Mikrotik and Huawei L3 switch.
Unfortunately, I do not have any neighbors.
In the logs I see packages from huawei switch, but the entries "discarding packet: wrong instance" appear.

I have the same area-id 0.0.0.0 (default area backbone).

What else do I have to do?

Should I use the default area - backbone entry? But here I can not set the area type (nssa, stub). It is only default.

Maybe I should configure my own area with another area-id?

Hello, i have the same issue, but i'm using mikrotik in both ends. I've setup a service provider lab, i have ospf/mpls/bgp runing in the core and i wan to configure another instance in a VRF that connects with a client (Router MT), i have to configure the same instance id in both ends in order to get the adj working. Anyone knows why?

If you could post the configs of your devices, it would be easier to troubleshoot for you.

Hi, i managed to get it working, i changed the instance id on the ospf interface, i don't really know what is it for, beacuse it appears not to be related with the instance created on the ospf process and it's not a field that gets shared on the hellos messages. If i change the instance-id on the interface the ospf adjacency comes up on the Test instance
/routing ospf instance
set [ find default=yes ] name=CORE router-id=172.30.0.3
add name=Test routing-table=Prueba
/routing ospf interface
add instance-id=1 interface=ether2 network-type=point-to-point

Seems like it's default instance id for Huawei routers.
