Route Conflict - OSPF

Product Discussion Peplink Balance
1

Hi!

I have a strange behaviour:

Balance One is connected to two hubs - Primary (costs 10) and DR (costs 20).
If I reboot the Primary hub, PepVPN-Status shows: Route Conflict.

The goal is to have a hub-redundancy.

Can you give me a hint, what happens? The tunnel that shows “route conflicts” does handle traffic!

I think, I have a problem with OSPF.
The only thing, I have changed is: I added the LAN-interface to Area 0.0.0.0, as on the LAN-Interface, there is a second router that need to know the OSPF-routes of the two Peplink-Hubs (Balance 710).

Thank you for your help!

Hello KPS,

Usually ‘Route Conflict’ means that two routers have the same IP address range or overlapping IP ranges. Please check your DHCP Settings to make sure that the routers aren’t overlapping.

Hi Zach!

DHCP is not activated, but my two “head-quarter balance 710” have both one leg in the same network and are both connected to the branch-office-balance-one.

Is there any possibility to debug this?

Can you help me in any way? I just cannot solve the problem

Detailed Szenario is:

Everything is working fine.

  • If the “DR-Hub” reboots, Peplink one does reconnect fine
  • If the “Main-Hub” fails, traffic goes on through DR-Hub
  • When “Main-Hub” comes back after failure, it shows “Route-Conflict” and Peplink-One cannot send data to the HQ-networks UNTIL i reboot DR-Hub

Please help me!

Out of interest have you set the costs in all directions as each setting is a one way thing.

You should have the 20 cost set on the tunnel from the balance one to the DR-hub and from the DR-hub to the balance one.

Yes, Route costs are set bidirectional (through InControl).

@KPS
Can you private message me the serial numbers of the three devices in this configuration? I’d like to look at the configuration.

Did you find out something about the issue?

Hi KPS,

We are still investigating this issue, and have sent an update to the Peplink Distributor who logged a ticket with support. Can you share what learned routes the Fortigate has learned?

Thanks,

Erik

Thanks Phil,

That is all we need for now.
James is in the process of replicating this in our test-lab as we speak.
Hopefully we can give you a workaround or solution by tomorrow.

/poke?

same problem here, says route conflict because 2 devices are in the same lan network on the other side

Interesting note, ONLY happens when you enable selective network broadcasting, if we leave it on fully auto it does not fail

@Alvaro_Cortes

Can you please screenshot and share your LAN network IP here for both end devices ?

Thank You
