OSPF Problem

talk2ram
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all

iam using test setup metro Ethernet Ring

using my cisco routers for testing for proof testing

my setup looks like below

Rt1---rt2----rt3---rt4--Rt1

above sai routers all connected to Ring

using their Etherent devices using cross cable

and each Router i have connected One PC

to one of the Ethernet

iam using OSPF to take routing decission shortest path for the other PC communication

i have problem here is

i can reach adjacent routers PC

but iam not able to reach other side of the PC

example

rt1 (PC) can reach rt1 PC and RT3 PC

but not able to reach RT4 PC

all loopbacks in one range

192.168.200.0 area 1

local networks configured area 0

can you some tell me why iam not able to reach other side of the routers..

thanks

ram

Hi

would be better to post out the configs as well as the show ip route incorporated in that..

that will be useful to troubleshoot this issue..

Hi

i would like to suggest few changes related to your ospf config.

1.Change the network type under the ethernet interface connected back to back between the routers to point to point.

2.Instead of advertising the whole /24 in the network statements would suggest to advertise the particular subnet alone.

do refer this sample config of your RT1

Note : do repeat the samekinda configs in all ur routers also the network 192.168.5.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 statement wasnt their in ur post may be thts the reason for the conenctivity issue..

Hi Prem

I just configured this 192.168.5.1

so i can connect some PC Later testing of OSPF in ring

why do i need to anounce local networks

iam already anoucing local area right

so it should automatically refelect with adjacents

ram

Hi

Sorry about the loopback announcement you need to make it as /32 instead of having them as whole /24s.

and can accordingly use the network statement for that block.

Also you have configured /30s on ur interfaces and announcing whole /24s in the ospf process.its gernal and normally recommended to announce the subnets whatever is being used or configured in ur boxes.

regds

1. Fix wildcard masks.

2. Advertise Local Networks (How else are the other routers going to know about the local networks?

Hi

which Wild mask

Loopback, what should be the wildmask

/32 or /30

ya iam doing local anouncements only

that is /24 network, where i connected to My LAN Pc

how about wan connected to each other with /32

i should anounce them both the routers

or any one of the side enough

ram

I think you shouldnt use 5 routers, because it adds more work but you dont learn anything extra. Use 5 routers later when you configure multi area ospf.

If you just want some basic ring, you just need 3.

Here is a basic two router config, you can modify to fit 3 routers, i have left out the obvious commands, like interface commands.

Router 1 - WAN

ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.252

Router 1 - LAN

ip address 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0

Router 1 - OSPF config

router ospf 1

network 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

Router 2 - WAN ( connects to R1 )

ip address 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.252

Router 2 - LAN

ip address 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0

Router 2 - OSPF config

router ospf 1

network 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

If you wish to connect R3, you would add teh following to antoher interface.

ip address 192.168.0.5 255.255.255.252

and

network 192.168.0.4 0.0.0.3 area 0

Just remember, you need to use the Network command to advertise everything that is connected to the local router, whether it is LAN or WAN and it will all work.

Hi

thanks for the suggestion

foir 3 routers its working fine

since all the routers are adjacent

iam looking more than adjacents

so its not working

iam talking about the routes are not getting reflected

when the router is not in adjacent

can you suggest me how can u do this

and make the update routes

if u can send me the config

ram

Hi ram

would suggest to go thru this link to get the things in place and start ur configs afresh..
