  • 1.  OSPF routes and OSPF3 routes

    Posted 02-28-2024 22:16

    Hi everyone,

    Let's say we have MX1 running OSPF and OSPF3 realm ipv4-unicast. MX1 is learning 10.10.10.0/24 via OSPF and also via OSPF3. 

    Which  route MX1 will mark active? One via OSPF or OSPF3?

    Much appreciated!!

    Hi,

    Very interesting case.

    It appears that with default preference of 10 (for both OSPFv2 and OSPFv3) Junos will prefer OSPFv2. Moreover, even with load-balancing policy it will not consider OSPFv3 as second possible path -

    Thanks so much !!

    I saw the same thing but I  was not sure if it is just random thing or JUNOS indeed prefers OSPFV2 over OSPF3 as your response shows beyond any doubt.

    Much appreciated!!
