OSPF routes not showing immeaditely under Routing Monitor

[karmesh]

HI Guys,

I need someone to advice me on the scenario below.

I have configured the OSPF routing protocol on the Fortigate but the output doesn't immediately display on Routing Monitor GUI. However, I was able to see the external route being learn from the CE router on the Fortigate CLI. Can i know why we cant immediately notice the external E1 route? Is there some kind of min wait time frame before it appears on the GUI?

Please note that this is a Fortigate 310B firewall.

Thank you in advanced.

Rgds,

Mesh

Could be a bug, what browser & what version of code and how long of a wait? Also did you do a screen refresh?

As far as E1 ospf routes, there's no difference about route delay or refresh. As soon as a change happens, the route should be updated.

When refreshing the web page, hold down the SHIFT key when you click the reload button. That bypasses the browser cache and forces the page to be reloaded totally from the server (the FGT).

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your feedback and much appreciate it.

It only appeared on the GUI after removing the static route from the routing table. I was thinking it was due to static route taking precedence over the OSPF route and that was the reason it didnt appear. Is it true that the Fortigate routing table ONLY shows the best learn route rather than displaying other routes?

Yes, it's true that the Fortigate only display the installed routes in the GUI.

The equivalent CLI command is "get router info routing-table all"

If you want to have all the learned routes, then you need to use the following CLI command: "get router info routing-table database"
