Through the use of OSPF and BGP, SD-WAN Edge is able to learn routes from neighboring routers. Those routes that have been learned are transmitted to the Gateway/Controller. The Gateway/Controller performs the function of a route reflector and transmits the routes that it has learned to other SD-WAN Edge ports. The Overlay Flow Control (OFC) makes it possible to have visibility and control over routes throughout an entire enterprise, making it easier to program and allowing for full and partial overlay.
Inbound and outbound filters to OSPF neighbors, multiple OE1/OE2 route types, and MD5 authentication are all supported by VMware environments. Whether the controller is hosted in the cloud or on-premises, the routes that are learned using OSPF will be instantly redistributed to the controller. Support for BGP Inbound/Outbound filters, with the filter having the option to be set to Deny. Additionally, you have the opportunity to Add/Change the BGP attribute in order to affect the path selection, which includes RFC 1998 community, MED recommendation, and local preference.
Turn on OSPF
Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) can only be turned on as a passive link on a LAN interface. To get the most out of OSPF, you need to use it in routed interfaces.
Follow these steps on this method to enable OSPF:
- Set up profiles for OSPF.
- Go to Configure > Profile.
- In order to configure OSPF for a profile, click the Device icon associated with that profile.
