Routing

Hello Experts,

I have configured two routers in OSPF area 0. But when I check the peer router, it receives OSPF routes with an administrative value of 150 which I learnt as external OSPF. Can anyone please explain why the route is external.

root@R2> show configuration protocols ospf
export New;
area 0.0.0.0 {
    interface em0.0;
}

Receiving router:

root@R1> show route protocol ospf

inet.0: 4 destinations, 5 routes (4 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

2.2.2.3/32         *[OSPF/150] 00:01:53, metric 0, tag 0
                    > to 1.1.1.2 via em0.0
224.0.0.5/32       *[OSPF/10] 00:36:04, metric 1
                      MultiRecv

root@R1>

You're redistributing the route in OSPF using export. Expected.

Hi Folks,

Just my 2 cents on this…

Please find the default Route Preference Values (Administrative Distance) in JUNOS,
