Moving an AE1 OSPF transit link into another AE port what changes will be required?

[M.Allen]

Hi all, 

I am looking to move an existing AE1 interface which operates as an single OSPF transit to another AE3 port with other sub interfaces also configured.

What changes should be completed and considered when doing this to retain network connectivity?

Existing port 

New port

I have amended the virtual router to use the new AE3.3501 interface instead of AE1.

The existing AE1 connects to a core switch which is a port-channel. 

I am thinking this will need to be reconfigured as an SVI 

int vlan3501
description pa3420 - Corp-OSPF
ip address 10.205.250.2 255.255.255.252
ip ospf network point-to-point
storm-control broadcast level bps 2m

vlan 3501

name - OSPF-CORP

I have also added the no passive interface command to vlan 3501

no passive-interface vlan3501

switchport trunk allowed vlan add 3501 to the switch side core uplinks. 

The core currently uses AE1 to 10.205.250.1 as a default route. Will this be updated automatically from the Palo?

Can anyone assist with what else I may be missing switch and palo side?

Hello @M.Allen

thanks for post!

To me your configuration on both switch side as well as Firewall side looks complete. The only thing, I would considered to add is on Firewall side interface AE3.3501 as OSPF interface type p2p to match setting on switch side: configure-ospf (Point No. 5 in the manual).

Kind Regards
