@Clive_A OK Great!  That's perfectly fine with me.   Is there an example somewhere of how this is done?  I've tried the GRE tunnel as well and it still didn't see any OSPF neighbors.

  @Clive_A I figured out what I had wrong and resolved the neighbors now showing.   My other issue is how can I specify a network that resides at a specific location on the WAN interface and have traffic from the other sites go to that site?

  @Clive_A Hi,

There are plenty of vendors that can specify destination routes for OSPF.   Being that OSPF is actually up and running, its a matter of being able to define which locations are advertising which subnets, and it should then get propagated to the other connected OSPF neighbors and route it accordingly.  I'm just not sure if there's something I need to do from one site to another.  The use case for example would be, 2 sites with GRE up and OSPF between them.  Site A has a shorter path to lets say google.com from its WAN connection and I want anyone at Site B accessing it (IP Addresss / IP range / etc.) to go over the GRE link since its advertised from Site A, and out Site A's WAN link.  This is really a fairly standard option when implementing OSPF and really is what its targeted at for small networks.

  @Clive_A  Hi,

Sounds good.  And to be clear, I'm not looking for instant results, just curious if there's a guide to do some of these things based on the features that have been added.  I've not found anything definitive on how to accomplish this in the documentation.   The docs merely state what each thing does.  Being that the accomplishment of said goal is done differently based on the device you are configuring, it would be prudent to supply some use-case examples of how to do them if it is possible.

I'll experiment with the PBR and see if I can get something to work.   As of now, I figured out somewhat how the OSPF is working between my 3 sites I have, so thats a start.

@Clive_A,

After some review of the PBR, it doesn't appear you can select an interface other than a 'WAN" interface for the traffic, so its very limited.  The ability to select 'any' interface would definitely make this a viable option to route traffic from site A to site B across the GRE tunnel and out that Site B WAN interface.  Seems like this is a limiting factor on all the potential methods to achieve what I'm attempting to do unless I'm just missing something.

My attempted solution was create an IP group with the subnets I want to reach through the GRE tunnel from Site A @ Site B that live outside Site B WAN, but the PBR that I'm specifying on Site A does not contain the GRE tunnel interface, only a 'WAN' type interface.

So I'm at a loss on how to tell the router to send any traffic across the GRE unless its a local subnet on Site B or somehow get OSPF to advertise that subnet from Site B to Site A that it has the path for that subnet as being more specific.

Thoughts?
