OSPF between two pfSense routers?

[norah315]

For lab purpose, I have difficult to setup OSPF between two pfSense routers. I am new to OSPF anyways.

I cannot ping from client-2 (10.2.5.20) to client-1 (192.168.50.10).

Here are some examples of OSPF status from ro2 (router 2)

OSPF Neighbors
Neighbor ID     Pri State           Dead Time Address         Interface            RXmtL RqstL DBsmL
192.168.50.250    1 Full/Backup       35.050s 172.16.10.1     em0:172.16.10.2          0     0     0

My end goal is I like client-2 can access to 192.168.50.0/24 subnet and access to the internet from ro1 (router 1) and vise versa. Thanks.

What do the firewall rules look like on your 172.16.10.0/30 interfaces on both sides?

@chpalmer
Hello, thanks for reply. Here is the firewall rules on ro1 and ro2 at 172.16.10.0/30 interface. They are same.

You'll have to allow more than OSPF and ping to allow traffic to flow over the 172.16.10.0/30 connection. Allow IPv4 traffic.

How is your gateway defined on ro2?
