SRX

Hi guys,

I thought this would be easy but it's not working 😞

All I want to do is redistribute a static route as follows into ospf:

set routing-options static route 0.0.0.0/0 next-hop 62.x.x.x

Here's my ospf config:

set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.0 interface reth1.0

set protocols ospf export ospf-redistribute

set policy-options policy-statement ospf-redistribute term direct from protocol direct
set policy-options policy-statement ospf-redistribute term direct then accept

set policy-options policy-statement ospf-redistribute term static from protocol static
set policy-options policy-statement ospf-redistribute term static then accept

set security zones security-zone trust host-inbound-traffic protocols ospf

Am I missing anything?

Thanks,

Paul

Anyone.....?

hi paulkil,

your config seems to fine. How do your verify it's not working ? Please check in order:

• static route is present in SRX RIB (show route terse 0/0 exact)
• external LSA present in SRX OSPF LSDB (show ospf database external lsa-id 0.0.0.0 detail)
• LSDB on OSFP neighbor  (show ospf database)

Hi JTB,

here are the outputs you requested:

pkil@f1-jx1> show route terse 0/0 exact

{primary:node0}
pkil@f1-jx1> show ospf database external lsa-id 0.0.0.0 detail

No results for both of these>

pkil@f1-jx1> show ospf database

for the one there is quite a verbose output but no mention of the 0.0.0.0/0 route.

Lastly:

pkil@f1-jx1> show route forwarding-table
Routing table: default.inet
Internet:
Destination        Type RtRef Next hop           Type Index NhRef Netif
default            perm     0                    rjct    36     2
0.0.0.0/32         perm     0                    dscd    34     1
10.0.0.0/8         user     0 a8:b1:d4:3c:b4:47  ucst   554   375 reth1.0

Does this mean anything?

Thanks,

Paul

You're static route should be in the routing table but isn't. Check if that next hop 62.x.x.x is reachable.

Hi there,

the hop to 62.x.x.x is not reachable, is this why it's not showing in the routing table then?

Thanks,

Paul

hi,

your policy redistributes direct+static routes from RIB to OSPF. There is no 0.0.0.0/0 static route in RIB. What about 62.x.x.x, is it direct/interface route ? Without active route to 62.x.x.x, the  'static route 0.0.0.0/0' will not work.

ok, I get it.

At the moment the next hop in the static route is down, it will be up soon when we cut over networks. This explains the lack of default route advertising.

Thanks for your responses, should have realise this myself.
