Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSPF errors on router
"closed" every vlan not in use? Our vlans are mainly in use for /30's to remote sites which ospf runs over. All of our unused ports are disabled and all of our vlans are in use.

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSPF errors on router
I saw this a few weeks ago.
I went into my 'tik cloud router switches and closed every vlan that the
ports weren't actively using. That solved it.
On 12/13/2016 11:50 PM, Robbie Wright via Mikrotik-users wrote:

We've got a main tower that has a vlan to a dozen other sites, each
running an MT with OSPF. Each vlan has a ptp ospf interface, not
broadcast, with a unique /30 public IP space. We only run one instance
of OSPF on our main tower router, with only one router ID.
I'm thinking maybe the one router ID across all the vlans is causing
the issue? Functionally, everything is working fine. But our logs are
blowing up with the "Discarding packet: locally originated" error.

Some things to make sure of before banging your head.
1.Make sure *every* router participating in OSPF is on the same OS
version. They don’t have to be the latest greatest, just the
same. one router in a pool of 50 can taint the database. Even if
it’s one version behind of ahead.
2.Make sure your loopback IP addresses (you are using loopbacks
correct?) are listed as the router ID.
3.If these are true point-to-point backhauls change the OSPF type
to PTP. This cuts down on the chatter on the link. Once OSPF
establishes a session it stops talking as much as if it were in
broadcast mode.
4.Double check your IPs and subnet masks.
80some% of the OSPF issues I see are a result of mismatched router
OS versions. Bringing everything to the same version solves a ton
of issues.

I am getting the attached errors in my event log on one

are on 6.29. Both routers CPU is <10%. As soon as this error
passes they will work 100% for hours, even days. I am

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSPF errors on router
Yeah, it was a firmware update that made it show up in the logs for us too. In our setup, each OSPF instance is inside its own vlan running a public /30. We've got one CCR with two ports in a bridge, each port going to a 24 port edge switch. The CCR has multiple OSPF peers and all are throwing the error. Our router ID's are not 0.0.0.0.

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSPF errors on router
Time synchronization ranks up at the top as well. Doesn't usually cause OPs error, but it is critical. On 12/14/2016 8:51 AM, Kevin Myers via Mikrotik-users wrote: Just wanted to echo and reinforce the comments that Justin Wilson made about every router that participates in OSPF needs to have the exact same version on it. He is 110% correct. This is not brought up a lot but is the SINGLE biggest factor in achieving OSPF and overall stability between the routers. I probably have this conversation at least once a day with a client WISP about setting a common version between all the OSPF routers. The bugfix versions are good, I usually recommend 6.32.4 or 6.36.4 bugfix for production routers and never the latest unless there is a feature or fix you must have.

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSPF errors on router
My experience is that has almost always been a configuration error. Often related to Router ID, but not necessarily the one reporting the errors. One thing MT appears to not like is Router ID of 0.0.0.0. Duplicate IP addresses can cause this message. The packet actually came from somewhere else, but looks like it is local. I am sure there are some other common things, but it has been a while since I was dealing with this error message.

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSPF errors on router
Each router should have a unique router ID typically, best practice, is to take an IP Address (unique) and assign it to the Loopback interface ( a dummy bridge interface) and use that a router id in your OSPF instance.. irrespective of how many interfaces you have running OSPF, only one unique router id is required. - is it possible that you have created a loop where you are seeing the packets from the router it-self ?

Re: [Mikrotik Users] OSPF errors on router
I saw this issue pop up again. The duplicate router ID thing caught me. We've got a main tower that has a vlan to a dozen other sites, each running an MT with OSPF. Each vlan has a ptp ospf interface, not broadcast, with a unique /30 public IP space. We only run one instance of OSPF on our main tower router, with only one router ID. I'm thinking maybe the one router ID across all the vlans is causing the issue? Functionally, everything is working fine. But our logs are blowing up with the "Discarding packet: locally originated" error.
