Hi
We have 2 completely different networks which we want, at a certain location, to bring physically on 2 (redundant) c3750's.
1 of the 2 networks was already on those switches, and participates in ospf (as a stub area).
So when the second network came, we created a vrf, and a vrf ospf process (which initially participated in area 0 of the other network). Everything worked fine. We didn't change anything of the config of network 1 (so didn't define any vrf's for the ospf process or interfaces).
Now we decided that the location of network 2 (the new one, in a vrf) should no longer be in area 0, but should be a totally stub area, with no config of area 0 on that site). This is were the problems began. The configuration didn't put a default gateway in the VRF's routing table ( that is injected by the ABR on another location). on further inspection we saw why.
It seems that an ospf process in a vrf is asuming there is a MPLS VPN superbackbone
(from sh ip ospf)
Connected to MPLS VPN Superbackbone, VRF internet
It is an area border router
so this ospf process made itself ABR, ignoring information from area 0 coming via a non-backbone area).
my question is rather simple... Can i prevent this ospf process (running in a VRF) from becoming ABR?
kind regards
Arne
