Single Area OSPF - Mikrotik RouterOS 7 (for beginners)

#mikrotik #ospf #routeros7

OSPF is the most common routing protocol for internal networks.
Learn the basics about OSPF, and how to configure a single area topology. We will cover the OSPF basics, loopback interfaces, router-id, ospf instances, areas, interface templates, timers, default route redistribution, and hello messages.

Have you configured OSPF on RouterOS v7?

[RavingMad]

You've made 2 of the best videos in YouTube on VLAN configuration for MikroTik switches. And then you disappeared, and I've searched for new videos from you for a while. So glad to see a new video from you. Hope to see more content from you. Thanks.

Muchas felicidades Wilmer! Excelente explicación de OSPF! Muy claro todo.

[olsmolin]

Супер! Спасибо очень подробная и понятная инструкция. Хотелось бы еще инструкцию по взаимодействию ospf ROS6+ROS7. Благодарю.

[URWCW]

Thanks! It is quite useful instruction. Would be great to see some video about using ospf trasfering vlans between routers.

Your videos are helpful and thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the one you made for the VLAN configuration. I agree that making 1 bridge per switch chip is more efficient than fragmenting the chip's resources into several bridge instances. However, it could still work, but not as efficiently. I was just thinking about making it easier, and I thought doing the same thing. I bought the 5009 and am loving it. The only thing I don't like, even though it's supposed to make things easier, is the bringing mode. It's nothing like Cisco. However, I am enjoying learning a different way of networking. OSPF would know all the networks through the update and hello messages. This is how it would do it on a Cisco, and it should make it easier for redundant routes in Mikrotik as well. I have 2 CRS328-24P-4S+RM switches and the 5009 new series min routers. I'm thinking of getting another one, but I use a Ubiquity pro 8, which works well, but not for VLANs. I'm hoping the 5009 will fix the VLAN routing issues I run into with the erpro8 limitations. If you want, I can video configure my rb5009 with OSPF. RouterOS 7 is native to that device. Personally, I wouldn't configure md5 for authentication until I know OSPF is working after exchanging several hellos. I would RMON or remote into each one and configure 1-to-1 md5 to verify each one until they are all working. You could get around issues if they arise minimizing during the troubleshooting phase by eliminating OSPF timeouts and other configurations during the initial setup. Of course, you can do what you want, that's just me. Also, just in case you are wondering (hellos= alltypes[LSR+LSU+LSAs]).

Thank you for this video. It is very usefu

Hi .. can you make another video of this OSPF with Vlan Using CRS got lost somewhere with the tagging. To be specific with the topology CCR - CRS - CCR both runnung OSPF and VLANS...would be very glad if you do.. Thank you

[chrislane]

Hey there, great vids.. Is there some documentation on how to convert BGP/OSPF from v6 to v7.. its very different and when u copy a config from 6 to a 7 device it misses alot.. and CLI is not just copy paste as many commands either don't exist or are in different subdirs .. struggling with the switch to 7..

[ronaldhaley]

Love your work - can you do one on L3 offloading?

[marvinsanchezgutierrez]

Excelente! Muy buena secuencia, lógica y clara. Una pregunta: ¿Hay algo adicional que configurar en el Router con OSPF ver7 para que se pueda entender con un Router OSPF ver6? ¿O viceversa? Puse un Router cabecera con mayores prestaciones (prestaciones que solo funcionan en routeros ver7), pero el resto de routers estan con routeros ver6. Gracia Profesor

Please do a multi area network design with OSPF & BGP

[mikrotiksodoityourself]

i saw you put in Originate Default " if installed" ....in 7.1.1 version....you don't need to Redistribute notihng else....as 6.49.x version..? @The Network Trip ..best Regards !

[pierdavid]

Hola Wilmer. Cuando podrías dar este video en español se ve muy interesante

[juancarlosferreirasferreir]

Buenas yo veo sus vídeos en español y me gustaría ver este pero en español.
Gracias

I need help configuring a virtual Mikrotik 6.48 on VMWare Workstation.
I need to be able to have DHCP Server, I have it configured and active, but it is not working for me!

[michaeldrummond]

i'm no expert but wouldn't PTMP be better then Broadcast?
