Hello,

Redistributing one OSPF process into another is asking for trouble because there are race conditions lurking behind the corner. I personally caution against this kind of design.

Why did you decide to run three independent OSPF processes, anyway? Your DMVPN is a single VPN that connects you and your branch offices together even if you create three tunnels. How about running a single OSPF process and just making sure that the most preferred DMVPN tunnel interface uses OSPF cost 1, the less preferred DMVPN tunnel interface uses OSPF cost 1000, and the least preferred DMVPN tunnel uses OSPF cost 10000, with these costs consistently set up on all routers? This would naturally cause the OSPF to always choose the path across the cheapest tunnel that works.

Best regards,
Peter

Hello Peter,

First of all I would like to thank you. Yes you are right but every LAN has a voice vlan and Data vlan so the idea is to transport the voice traffic via ISP 1 and Data via ISP 2 and the other traffic via ISP 3 in case of lossing connection  via ISP 1 tha voice traffic goes via ISP 2 here come the issue 

since I use three ospf proccess .
