Morning all.

This has been wrecking my head for the last few days, and my head hurts from banging it against the wall... Hopefully someone can help.

I have a RB5007 connected to the internet. I have Zerotier Interface and 2 Wireguard interfaces to 2 boxes (Zerotier is multiple endpoints on one interface, Wireguard is point to point...).

on the other end are Linux boxes running Bird. These already use OSPF to talk over both Zerotier and Wireguard for internal stuff (/32 ips for iBGP) and eBGP for external connections.

I have OSPF setup on Mikrotik with a single v2 instance redistributing static routes. on interface templates, i have one for zerotier (broadcast, matching the details in bird) and 1 each for the Wireguard connections (ptp, also matching).

I have a single Area, id 0.0.0.0, type default... and i have a single area range, announcing a /32 to the rest (10.244.253.x/32 for each box, which will be used to connect to BGP).

Long story boring, i am just getting the following constantly in the logs when using ptp,
When the broadcast one is on, I start to see Neighbors in the list, but LSA never changes and they are all listed in an "init" state...

I have tried rebooting boxes, upgrading Bird, and a load of other things, but no luck... What am i doing wrong?

Thanks.

Do you have authentication enabled?

yea, simple auth is enabled on both...

I think you answered by question! turning off auth worked! happy days!

We will fix authentication in one of the upcoming versions.

The same problem between mikrotik x86 and brocade. OSPF simple authentification -wrong checksum after upgrade from 6.49.2 to 7.1
when to wait for a fix?

I've been working on getting this working for a while (OSPF PTMP with Bird).

Im happy to report that v7.4 works with Bird if you set the OSPF type in Mikrotik to be PTMP. If you want PTMP to work like it did in v6 (and only with mikrotik devices) you need to use PTMP Broadcast in v7

This is allowing me to run wireguard on mikrotik and use OSPF PTMP with BIRD
