Configuring OSPF Options On A Nodegrid Appliance & Neighbor Adjacency

Configuring OSPF Nodegrid Appliance & Neighbor Adjacency

The Nodegrid OS uses FRR (Free Range Routing Suite) to implement routing protocols such as OSPF.  FRR is a fully featured, high performance, free software IP routing suite.


To enable OSPF routing protocol daemons via WebUI:
1. Login as admin in WebUI, go to Security::Services

2. Scroll down to FRR section and enable the protocol that is required

3. Scroll back to top and click Save

Enable routing protocol daemons via CLI:
1. Login as admin in CLI. Type these commands,
      cd /settings/services
      set frr_enable_vrrp=yes
      commit

Enable routing protocol daemons via Shell:
1. Login as root in shell or type shell sudo su - to go to root shell
2. Go to the /etc/frr/daemons file to enable the protocol
      change the value of the protocol to yes like ospfd=yes
      save and exit from the file
3. Restart the frr service with /etc/init.d/frr restart

To enable routing protocol daemons via WebUI:
1. Login as admin in WebUI, go to Security::Services

Enable routing protocol daemons via CLI:

cd /settings/services/
set frr_enable_ospfv2=yes
commit

exec frr
configure terminal
router ospf

network 10.0.0.0/24 area 0.0.0.0 - (identify network to be in the backbone area 0)
network 192.168.10.0/24 0.0.0.0 - (identify network to be in the backbone area 0)
ospf router-id 10.0.0.1 default-information originate  - (Inject a default gateways into OSPF)
redistribute static  - (redistribute static routes into OSPF) redistribute kernel  - (Virtual server routes are neither connected nor static type. falls under a new type known as kernel. )
do write
exit
exit
exit

Troubleshooting OSPF protocol:

show ip ospf neighbor


tcpdump -v -i backplane0.10 proto ospf  



show ip route ospf 




show ip ospfinterface



tcpdump -i backplane0.10 ip[9] == 89
