Solved: OSPF Issue - Static Works

Amin Shaikh · ‎10-05-2009

Hi,

I have BackBone_Switch connecting to MPLS_RTR but using OSPF traffic doesnt flow using static routes it works.

Any help

The additional information that you have posted is helpful. From it we can determine tht the MPLS router has one active OSPF interface, which is the interface that connects to the switch. So the only routes that OSPF can learn via OSPF are routes from the switch.

OSPF is redistibuting routes from BGP and this line indicates that this should be working:

Number of external LSA 189.

I would expect some OSPF routes to be learned from the switch. There do not appear to be any. If you would post the output of the commands that I suggested from the switch we might get some insight into what is going on there.

Hello Amin,

What routes do you expect to see on the backbone switch? According to your output, the backbone switch is fully adjacent to the MPLS router so generally, there should not be any reachability problem, assuming that you have entered all the proper "network" commands into OSPF configuration so that all necessary networks are being advertised. Also, do you use any VRF tables?

Best regards,

Peter

We have couple of networks on BAckbone Switches and couple of networks are learned by MPLS Router.

All advertized on same OSPF ID but are not reachable.

I have not displayed those on the early post.

I have network 192.168.199.0/24 on mpls network.

If I perform sh ip route | incl 192.168.199.0

OUTPUT : no routes to destination, with static entry its fine.

what could be the other reason

Is there any other checks for OSPF

I have also done the following

clear ip route *

clea ip ospf proc *

No luck

You have not provided enough detail to allow us to figure out what the problem might be.

What you have showed us so far is the configuration of an OSPF process with a single network statement. The result of this single network statement is that the MPLS router and the switch become neighbors. You have not provided any other detail about any other routes? Are there additional networks learned by OSPF on the MPLS router? If so what are they? Are there any other network statements on the MPLS router? If so what are they? Are there any other OSPF neighbors on the MPLS router? If so what are they?

You ask if there are other checks for OSPF. I would suggest that you start with:

- show ip ospf

- show ip ospf interface

- show ip ospf neighbor

- show ip route ospf

If you do these commands it will provide good information about what is going on with OSPF. If you provide the output of these commands from the MPLS router and from the switch then it would give us good information to work from.

Rick,

Do you suggest any specific debug command to get some clue for the issue.

I have added the config and output

sh ip ospf neigh remains the same as stated in earlier post.

I m planning to upgrade IOS from 12.2 to 12.4 and I have another router 3800 with latest ios for some other purpose, will test with that as well.

I upgraded the IOS Version 12.3(11r)T2 and reapplied the OSPF config again and it starts working.

Its weird

Thank you rick and all guyz
