Oh, agreed: if it works, it works. If it doesn't work, and it's not something obvious like the wireless link having bad CCQs or tons of packet loss, try NBMA. It's only a few more steps to set up.

Thought NBMA was more for wire NBMA is for links where broadcast packets may not get through. I run OSPF in point-to-point mode over my UBNT links. I don't filter multicast on the UBNT devices and I enable WDS mode. I haven't had much trouble with OSPF via UBNT since airOS 5.3. Before that, there were lots of issues and NBMA / point-to-point were the only solutions. Point-to-point is less work to configure, so I just use that. There are two devices in a point to point configuration so I figure it feels correct to put OSPF into that mode anyway. > -----Original Message----- > From: Shayne Lebrun <[email protected]> > To: 'Mikrotik discussions' <[email protected]> > Sent: Thu, 21 Jul 2016 1:35 PM > Subject: Re: [Mikrotik] ospf init bit > > What sort of wireless link is it between the two radios?
