Greetings:
We have a mixed BGP and OSPF routing environment. The routing protocol on the MPLS and point to point T-1s is mostly BGP with some OSPF (but moving to BGP). A vendor of ours to whom we have a WAN link advertises via OSPF (and can not advertise via BGP). This link is in a DMZ off of the firewall which advertises the OSPF. There are backup paths to the remote locations via VPN tunnels.
When a WAN link goes down, the lower cost BGP route (from the WAN router) is deselected, and the higher cost OSPF route (from the firewall) is selected. This happens dynamically.
When the WAN link comes back up the higher OSPF route is NOT dynamically deselected in favor of the BGP route. Instead, we must clear the OSPF process on the WAN routers.
So that every location knows all the routes, OSPF routes are redsitributed into BGP, and BGP routes are redistributed into OSPF.
Why must I clear the OSPF process for the lower cost BGP routes to return? Shouldn't this be dynamic? If so, is there somethign that can be added to the configuration?
