Hi,
I'm running SD-WAN LAB 20.9.3.1.
I have 2 Viptela vEdge routers that are connected via OSPF on WAN interfaces.
when I enable NAT on the WAN interface , despite there is no NAT configuration other than the nat on the interface - the vEdge router interfere with the OSPF packets.
I've tried to allow specifically OSPF on the tunnel interface - but it did not help:
when I disable NAT - the OSPF goes back again and after a while dies again.
here is the show run:

when I disable nat on the interfaces - OSPF works perfectly.
for testing - I've allowed OSPF service on 1 interface and on the other not - to verify if it works.
it does not.
any suggestions ?

why do you need NAT ?
check NAT config :
enable debug and check.

thank you for your help !
the issue I'm facing is with vEdge Cloud 20.9.3 - the configuration guide you've referred me to is IOS XE so I'm not sure if I'm on the right track.
anyways - I need NAT for DIA, since I do the DIA with Data Policy - there isn't any NAT configuration, only NAT on the interface.
any suggestions for debug I should do ? when I check show policy service-path on the source IP of the neighbor with destination IP of 224.0.0.5 - it shows me that it is being blackholed.
