If for any reason the two OSPF neighbors don't get their expected number of keepalives (while there's other routed traffic), the OSPF adjacency will drop.  After it drops, new OSPF hellos can re-establish the neighbors (when there's no longer routed traffic).  This combination is one possible reason for a flapping OSPF relationship.

You check traffic loading (while OSPF is up across the link), keep alive settings, and packet corruption.  Also check the logs, and you might enable OSPF debugging.

Hi Joseph

How to check the below?

You check traffic loading (while OSPF is up across the link), keep alive  settings, and packet corruption.  Also check the logs

thanks.

Jamil,

You can do the following to help find the cause:

debug ip ospf adj

debug ip ospf events

ibrahim,

please do some debugs and provide the logs here to see what could be causing the issue. Also as Joe suggested check the load and all but some ospf debug should reveal whats happening. that informatino should help us fix the issue
