Run these commands on each Mikrotik changing out the router-id. <\/p>\n\n\n\n First it would be a good idea to create an loopback interface that will stay up. We’ll use this address as the router-id. This should be unique per router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now lets setup OSPF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First we’ll create the instance. Use the address from the above loopback address. Technically you can use whatever id you want as long as it is a 32 bit “address” and is unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n IMPORTANT NOTE: If this router is also the default gateway, you’ll need to specify the “originate-default=always” option to share the default gateway over OSPF to the other routers. You don’t have to do this if you don’t want to share the default route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we can create an OSPF area. For a simple OSPF setup, we’ll just use the default 0.0.0.0 area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now we can add an instance. This is responsible for what networks get shared with OSPF. If you want to do all the addresses on the router, then use 0.0.0.0\/0. If you only want to do specific networks, run an entry for every network, changing 0.0.0.0\/0 to the network of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that we can check to make sure things worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You should see at a neighbor. It can take a little bit for the neighbors to show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also check the routes on the router.<\/p>\n\n\n\n OSPF has a default distance of 110, so checking the routes is a quick way to verify the routes are getting updated. Do note that if you have a static route in with a lower distance, that will take precedence over OSPF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" https:\/\/help.mikrotik.com\/docs\/display\/ROS\/OSPF Setting up OSPF between Mikrotik routers is not too difficult.
