Can I distribute static routes in OSPF MikroTik?

Yes, in the instance options we have the option to Redistribute Static Routes.

You can distribute static routes in OSPF using MikroTik devices. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) is a dynamic routing protocol used to find the best route between devices on a large IP network.

Static route distribution in OSPF allows these routes to be known to other routers in the OSPF network, which is useful for situations where you need finer control over routing or to provide backup routes.

To distribute static routes in OSPF on a MikroTik device, you need to perform some basic steps within the RouterOS environment, the operating system used by MikroTik devices. Here is a general guide on how to do it:

  1. Configure the Static Route:
    • First, you need to configure the static route you want to distribute. This is done in the static routes menu (/ip route).
    • Add a new route specifying the destination and gateway.
  2. Enable Route Distribution in OSPF:
    • Next, you need to go to the OSPF menu (/routing ospf) and configure the OSPF instance if you haven't already.
    • In the instance section, make sure static route distribution is enabled. This may vary slightly depending on the RouterOS version.
  3. Configure Redistribution:
    • In the same OSPF menu, go to the redistribution section (/routing ospf redistribution) and add a new rule.
    • In this rule, select the type of route you want to redistribute (static in this case) and set the parameters according to your needs. Here you can specify different attributes for redistributed routes, such as OSPF route type, metrics, among others.
  4. Adjust Route Filters (Optional):
    • You can also define route filters to specifically control which static routes are redistributed to OSPF.
    • This is done in the OSPF filters section (/routing ospf route-filter). Here you can create rules to allow or deny the redistribution of certain routes based on various criteria.
  5. Check the Settings:
    • Finally, verify that static routes are being redistributed correctly within your OSPF network. You can do this by checking the routing tables on other OSPF routers to ensure that distributed static routes are visible.

Remember that, depending on your specific configuration and RouterOS version, the exact steps may vary.

It is also important to consider the security and performance implications of redistributing static routes in an OSPF network, as well as ensuring that the redistribution fits your network design and meets your routing requirements.
