Hi!

I'm trying to setup OSPF between a Juniper SRX 345 and a CCR2116 over IPSEC. I managed to have IPSEC and GRE working. Each device can ping each other over GRE interface and ipsec tunnel ends.

The issue I have is OSPF doesn't detect any neighbour.

/routing ospf instance

/routing ospf area
add disabled=no instance=ospf-instance-1 name=backbonev2
/routing ospf interface-template
add area=backbonev2 disabled=no interfaces=bridge1 passive type=ptp
add area=backbonev2 disabled=no interfaces=SRX-MOMO type=ptp
add area=backbonev2 disabled=no interfaces="vlan101 - mgmt,vlan104 - IPTV" passive type=ptp

The bridge1 interface is the single bridge for l2 hw offloading. I used it as my loopback device to avoid having more than 1 bridge and cause problems with hw offloading.

The SRX has st0.0 and nterface gr-0/0/0.1 as interfaces in the area and is already doing routing with other routers properly.
Security is also allowing ospf protocol on these interfaces to the SRX.

does ospf allowed by firewall?

Have you tried setting the interface template for the gre interface to a network type of ptp-unnumbered instead of just ptp? Have no xp with Juniper, but that resolved it for me a couple of times. Even though the neighbour did have an IP address and each device could ping each other's GRE-tunnel ip

Thank you for your help, I finally worked around it by using wireguard.
