OSPF + VLAN

olivier_simard

Hello,
has anyone tried to get OSPF active on a VLAN?

I try with an interface EX:ETH2 it works but if I try with a VLAN3500 it doesn't work.

thanks for your help

Hi @olivier_simard

In theory OSPF should work so long as it's a valid VLAN ID (valid being 1-4094.)

I would suggest looking at the OSPF status in your status report (you'll need WatchGuard System Manager to see this.)

(Firebox System Manager Status Report Example)
https://www.watchguard.com/help/docs/help-center/en-US/Content/en-US/Fireware/fsm/fsm_stat_report_example_wsm.html

The section about Dynamic routing will show the current status of OSPF.

Please also make sure that your OSPF statements are formatted correctly. I would suggest starting with the example config if this is your first time setting OSPF up on the firebox.

See:
(Sample OSPF Routing Configuration File (FRR))
