Hi,

Our customer has multiple sites connecting each other via VPLS.

They run OSPF to exchange their LAN subnets. 

Also each site have static routes points a device in their LAN. They are exporting these static routes to OSPF.

All sites have Juniper except 1 site which has AR169.

Juniper has all exported static routes including the ones exported by Huawei.

But Huawei doesn't have these exported static routes. They are not even in LSDB of the Huawei.

Weirdly enough it has these empty entries in its routing table.

routing table

No filter is configured.

I followed the below

https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1000060766/f90fb464/a-device-cannot-learn-ospf-routes

On the 5th step it says if it is not in LSDB contact support, I don't have support contract.

Any thoughts much appreciated. 

Thanks.

Hi alicenahi!
To import static routes to OSPF, run the Import-route command in OSPF. Before a static route is generated in the routing table, the static route needs to be added to the lsdb database of OSPF. If the routing table does not exist in the lsdb, the routing table does not exist. You are advised to check whether the import-route static command is run in OSPF.

Thank you for the reply
We have that command

alright, Is a VPN instance bound to your interface? Check whether a VPN instance is configured for the static route. Also, what is the specific version of your device? All I can think of is these configuration problems. If the configuration is correct, the compatibility between the two vendors cannot be ruled out.

Yes, all configuration exist as you said. All ospf neighborships are up.
To make a summary
Huawei sends its static routes to Juniper via OSPF and Juniper accepts it.
Juniper sends its static routers to Huawei but it doesn't accept it (It accepts the other routes, like the loopback address of the Juniper)
I am starting to believe it is a compatibility issue too.

Add the following command to the OSPF process and run the vpn-instance-capability simple command to ignore the VPN check in the OSPF process: The root cause is that OSPF on the local device is bound to a VPN instance. Therefore, the local device checks the route tag value and finds that the local process tag is the same as that in the LSDB, and routes are not calculated.
