CISCO-3750: OSPF over ip unnumbered interface

tyagia001
Level 1
Level 1

Hi Expert,

This is the first time I am working on OSPF and IP unnumbered interfaces.

My task is to bring-up OSPF adjacency between two CISCO-3750 switches connected back-to-back via IP unnumbered interfaces. I am using loopback interface to borrow the IP addresses for unnumbered interfaces on both the CISCO switches. After trying so many times, OSPF is not at all coming up over unnumbered interfaces though when tried with numbered interface it was fine.

I am pasting here complete running-config. Please help me in troubleshooting the issue:

Here is brief set-up info:

Hi Abhi,

the ip unnumbered command does not work on multiaccess-interfaces like Ethernet (even when you configure it as OSPF point-to-point):

Understanding and Configuring the ip unnumbered Command

Cisco IOS IP Addressing Services Command Reference#ip unnumberd

[EDIT]:

... apparently with the exception of high-end platforms like the 6k's:

12.2(18)SXF: This command was modified to support Ethernet physical interfaces and switched virtual interfaces (SVIs).

Hi Rolf,

Thanks a lot for your reply. It was indeed very helpful.

My CISCO 3750 box has following image:

Switch Ports Model              SW Version            SW Image

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

*    1 24    WS-C3750G-24T      12.2(52)SE            C3750-IPSERVICESK9-M

So I can conclude that IP unnumbered will not be supported on this platform since it does not support serial ports.

I have CISCO 6503 box also with me.

Could you please confirm if feature would be supported on 6503 ethernet ports or not?

Regards,

Abhi

Hi Abhi,

you're welcome. Thanks for rating & marking as answered!

Have a look at the Release Notes:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6500/ios/12.2SXF/native/release/notes/features.html#wp2800031

"New Software Features in Release 12.2(18)SXF2

...

Support with Supervisor Engine 2 for these features, which are already supported with other Supervisor Engines: 

...

- IP unnumbered for VLAN-SVI interfaces

...

-VLANs over IP unnumbered sub-interfaces"

I have to say I've never done this so far on a c6500 but I think you can rely on the RN.

HTH

Rolf
