OSPF on F5 "Can't setsockopt IP_MULTICAST_IF"

Hi all,

I'm trying to setup a OSPF relation between a Juniper SRX and F5(VM).

SRX config is the following configured(some part out cut out, like policies, all is permited):

routing-options {
            router-id 192.168.203.1;

protocols {
        ospf {
            area 0.0.0.0 {
                interface ge-0/0/15.1203 {
                      neighbor 192.168.203.203;
}}}}
security-zone TEST {
            address-book {
                address NET_192.168.203.0 192.168.203.0/24;
                             }

            host-inbound-traffic {
                        system-services {
                                    ntp;
                                    dns;
                                    ping;
                                    all;
                                    }
                        protocols {
                                    ospf;
                                    all;

            interfaces {
                ge-0/0/15.1203 {
                    host-inbound-traffic {
                        system-services {
                                 bootp;
                                 ping;
                                 dns;
                                 ntp;
                                 }
                        protocols {
                                    ospf;   }
            }}}}

On the F5 i've created the following:

  • Create Partition PD_1
  • Create Route-Domain RD_1. This is also the Default for PD_1 and also the Path for this route domain is PD_1
  • Vlan1203 created and its partition is on PD_1 and Tag is 1203, interface is 1.1 Untagged.
  • On the RD_1 i've added vlan1203 on it with ospfv2 on it
  • Create Self IP. IP is int he /24 with VLAN1203 and partition is PD_1, portlockdown is allow all, non-floating

The config for the RD_1 is the following:

baba.nl[1]sh run
!
no service password-encryption
!
log file /var/log/zebos.log
!
interface lo
!
interface /PD_1/VLAN1203
ip ospf network point-to-multipoint  also tried this to be NBMA, broadcast, p2p
ip ospf hello-interval 3
ip ospf dead-interval 3
ip ospf priority 0

!
router ospf 199
ospf router-id 192.168.41.103
redistribute kernel
network 192.168.202.0 0.0.0.255 area 0.0.0.0
network 192.168.203.0 0.0.0.255 area 0.0.0.0
!
line con 0
login
line vty 0 39
login
!
end

What I even try, i Always get the following errors:

2016/07/12 02:00:20 informational: OSPF Instance Id [199]: LSA[Refresh]: timer expired
2016/07/12 02:00:22 informational: OSPF Instance Id [199]: IFSM[/PD_1/VLAN1203:192.168.203.203]: Hello timer expire

How can I get the OSPF work?
