OSPF router ID and Process ID creation in VPN instance in HPE 5930 Switch

[Sudhakar2006]

Hello Networking Experts,

I'm new to OSPF and in our setup we have 2 X 5930 TOR switches in pair.

I need to implement OSPF for few networks. I would like to know if I can create 2 process ID with different router ID in same VPN instance? or we can create only one process ID in single VPN?

Process-ID Router-ID vpn-instance Area Network subnet Wildcard Mask

200 1.1.1.1 CHGSYS 0.0.0.20 10.2.14.136 0.0.0.7

300 2.2.2.2 CHGSYS 0.0.0.30 10.2.14.128 0.0.0.7

Can I create OSPF with above details in same VPN instance? This is a live instance and that's the reason I need confiramtion.

Please help me to confirm this point.

Hi @Sudhakar2006 !

Yes, you can configure several OSPF processes in one vpn-instance, there is no restriction like "one process for one vpn-instance".

Thank Ivan for the response.

@Sudhakar2006 one more suggestion - if you will have any issues with learning routes in OSPF process running in vpn-instance, try to use "vpn-instance-capability simple" command under the ospf process configuration. But first, try without it.

Hopefully it will save you some time.

Sure Ivan, I'll share the feedback once it is planned and executed.
