Very Odd OSPF Problem

aprather
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all,

I have a very odd OSPF issue.

I have a 6509 router with a DS3 card doing frame-relay to multiple end sites. These end sites all have 2800 routers.

All of my end sites talk OSPF just fine except for one.

On the low end 2800 router, this is what I have:

6d08h: OSPF: Send hello to 224.0.0.5 area 10.125.0.0 on Serial0/2/0.30 from 10.1

25.2.102

6d08h: OSPF: Send hello to 224.0.0.5 area 10.125.0.0 on FastEthernet0/0 from 10.

126.30.254

6d08h: OSPF: rcv. v:2 t:1 l:44 rid:10.120.16.1

aid:10.125.0.0 chk:C8AF aut:1 auk: from Serial0/2/0.30

6d08h: OSPF: Rcv hello from 10.120.16.1 area 10.125.0.0 from Serial0/2/0.30 10.1

25.2.97

6d08h: OSPF: Send immediate hello to nbr 10.120.16.1, src address 10.125.2.97, o

n Serial0/2/0.30

6d08h: OSPF: Send hello to 224.0.0.5 area 10.125.0.0 on Serial0/2/0.30 from 10.1

25.2.102

6d08h: OSPF: End of hello processing

So you can see that the 2800 is both receiving and sending hellos. On the 6509 side, it is only SENDING hellos, not receiving any from the 2800.

This is a normal configuration, I have no ACL's, no sorts of filters or anything. I can get IP routing working fine when I use static routes, but not OSPF.

We have talked to the phone company on numerous occasions and they say they have completely rebuilt this frame connection, but still nothing is getting through.

Its almost as though on the 6509 side, it cannot talk multicast to this router. When I do a multicast ping, this particular router does not respond while all others do.

2800 Router Config:

interface Serial0/2/0

interface Serial0/2/0.30 point-to-point

network 10.126.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 10.125.0.0

As you can see, without the other hello, it can only stay in INIT state:

Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface

10.120.16.1 0 INIT/ - 00:00:38 10.125.2.97 Serial0/2/0.30

The Rx Hellos DO NOT INCREASE. They are staying the same.

This router worked at one point at which there was some sort of issue. Maybe power. We have replaced the router at this location 3 seperate times with all new hardware.

The phone company swears they arent blocking multicast...

Any ideas?

Thanks!

HI,

The cause for the Multicast IP not reachable beacause the provider might be blocking the same.

Try establishing OSPF on NBMA and test the Services. The sample configuration is as below:

PE Side Configuration

----------------------

interface

description ***Customer Name***

encapsulation dot1Q xyz

ip vrf forwarding

ip address aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 255.255.255.252

ip mtu 1500

ip ospf network non-broadcast

no cdp enable

end

!

router ospf vrf

log-adjacency-changes

network aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 0.0.0.3 area 0

neighbor aaa.bbb.ccc.eee

!

CE Side Configuration

----------------------

interface

description ***Customer Name***

encapsulation dot1Q xyz

ip address aaa.bbb.ccc.eee 255.255.255.252

ip ospf network non-broadcast

no cdp enable

end

!

router ospf

log-adjacency-changes

network aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 0.0.0.3 area 0

neighbor aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd

!

Hope I am Informative. Pls RATE if HELPS

Best Regards,

Thanks for the response. I have verified that the provider is not blocking multicast traffic.

I have FIXED this issue. I will leave this question out here for a bit longer though to see if someone would like to try and answer the question before I post the solution.
