OSPF for IPv4 Test Lab: Cisco Router & ASA, Juniper SSG & Palo Alto

$

0

I tested OSPF for IPv4 in my lab: I configured OSPF inside a single broadcast domain with five devices: 2x Cisco Router, Cisco ASA, Juniper SSG, and Palo Alto PA. It works perfectly though these are a few different vendors.

I will show my lab and will list all the configuration commands/screenshots I used on the devices. I won’t go into detail but maybe these listings help for a basic understanding of the OSPF processes on these devices.

I don’t want to say much about OSPF. Whoever reaches this post might already know about it. :) (Or read the articles about OSPF on Wikipedia or Cisco.)

Lab

This figure shows my lab and the basic OSPF values:

OSPF Lab

Note that I have a few more networks and Site-to-Site VPNs between these devices. So this figure is not complete at all but shows all relevant OSPF objects.

Some information

  • Everything is in area 0.0.0.0, type broadcast
  • Juniper SSG should be the DR: interface priority set to 100.
  • Palo Alto PA should be the BDR: interface priority set to 50.
  • Router-ID is always set manually to the IPv4 address of the interface (172.16.1.x).
  • Cost for the interfaces as seen in the figure. For the Cisco routers I used the 
    auto-cost reference-bandwidth 10000
     command, while for all the other devices I configured them manually.
  • Passive-interface on all user/access interfaces.
  • Static routes are redistributed on a few devices for Remote Access VPN (Cisco ASA, Palo Alto) and Site-to-Site VPNs (Juniper).
  • The default route to the Internet via the Juniper SSG is also redistributed. It has a cost of 42 because it is the answer of everything.
  • No changes in the administrative distance / route preference, though it is different on all devices (Cisco: 110, Juniper: 60, Palo Alto: 30). However, since I am only using one dynamic routing protocol, this does not matter since it is only for local relevance on each firewall.

Of course, these are only the basic configurations for OSPF. I have not worked with authentication between the neighbors, nor have I fine-tuned other parameters such as graceful restart (non-stop forwarding), etc.

Cisco Router

I have two Cisco routers in my lab: One 2621 with IOS version 12.3(26) and one 2811 with IOS 12.4(24)T8.

This is the configuration for one of the Cisco routers. The config of the other router looks exactly the same:

router ospf 1
 router-id 172.16.1.5
 log-adjacency-changes
 auto-cost reference-bandwidth 10000
 passive-interface default
 no passive-interface FastEthernet0/0
 network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0.0.0.0
 network 192.168.150.0 0.0.0.255 area 0.0.0.0
 network 192.168.151.0 0.0.0.255 area 0.0.0.0

And here are two show commands:

fd-wv-ro03#show ip ospf neighbor

Cisco ASA

The Cisco ASA 5505 in my lab runs at version 9.1(4).

I configured the ASA through the ASDM GUI. In the following configuration screenshots, the redistribution of the static routes to the AnyConnect RA VPN are also shown:

Cisco ASA 01 Setup Cisco ASA 02 Setup Advanced Cisco ASA 03 Setup Area Networks Cisco ASA 04 Interface Properties Cisco ASA 05 Redistribution Static

And these are some monitoring screenshots:

Cisco ASA Show 01 Type 1 Cisco ASA Show 02 Type 2 Cisco ASA Show 03 Type 5 Cisco ASA Show 04 Neighbors Cisco ASA Show 05 Routes-a Cisco ASA Show 06 Routes-b

 

Juniper SSG

In my lab, it’s an SSG 5 with software version 6.3.0r17.0.

Here with the redistribution of static routes for the Site-to-Site VPNs (complicated: access list, route map, OSPF redistributable rules) and the default route:

Juniper SSG 01 Router ID Juniper SSG 02 OSPF Parameters Juniper SSG 03 OSPF Area 0.0.0.0 Configure Juniper SSG 04 VR access list Juniper SSG 05 VR Route Map links to access list 10 Juniper SSG 06 VR Route Map links to access list 10 Juniper SSG 07 OSPF Redist Rules links to Route MAP Juniper SSG 08 Interface OSPF Properties Juniper SSG 09 Interface OSPF Properties

 

And here are a few listings from the CLI. (For some reasons, the host route to the AnyConnect VPN Client on the Cisco ASA, 192.168.133.10/32,  is missing in the routing table. I do not know why. On the Cisco routers as well as on the Palo Alto it is present.)

Palo Alto

Finally, the Palo Alto PA-200 in my lab runs at PAN-OS version 6.0.3.

Before we start, remember to add a security policy rule to allow OSPF on the specific zone. I have forgotten it and was searching a while in all OSPF configurations before I saw the denied packets in the traffic log. ;)

Here are the configuration steps for the OSPF routing. I also configured a redistribution profile which is referenced in the export rules of the OSPF process:

Palo Alto 01 OSPF Palo Alto 02 area 0.0.0.0 Type Normal Palo Alto 03 No Range Palo Alto 04 Interfaces Palo Alto 05 Redistribution Profile Palo Alto 06 Export Rules links to Redistribution Profile Palo Alto 07 OSPF Advanced

 

The “More Runtime Stats” look like that:

Palo Alto Show 01 Routing Palo Alto Show 02 Routing Palo Alto Show 03 OSPF Summary Palo Alto Show 04 OSPF Area Palo Alto Show 05 OSPF Interface Palo Alto Show 06 OSPF Neighbor

 

And for the friends of the CLI, take one of these commands: :)

show routing protocol ospf neighbor
show routing protocol ospf interface
show routing protocol ospf summary
show routing route type ospf
