DMVPN OSPF hello packet not received

[happyelfWong_2]

Dear all,

     Wonder if anyone encounter same situation of me.

     I build a Dual Hub Dual DMVPN with OSPF and I observed that the ospf hello packet are not arriving hub from spoke.

     Thus my ospf neighbor periodically up/down while the timer exceeed.

     I tried to add static neighbor on spoke and I observe the hub start receiving ospf hello from spoke but it's still not work.

     My DMVPN & OSPF configuration as below

Hello Peter,

OSPF Network type point-to-multipoint uses multicasts address 224.0.0.5. You have configured neighbor statements and this would be the case for using OSPF network type point-to-multipoint non-broadcast, so, for this to work with neighbor statements first you should change the network type to point-to-multipoint non-broadcast. However, I would solve the multicast issue, remove the neighbor statements, and maintain the network to point-to-multipoint.

I see that you are doing the multicast mappings to the tunnel addreses, you should do to the physical addresses:

ip nhrp map 10.231.0.252 10.100.2.254

ip nhrp map multicast 10.100.2.254

Best Regards,

Jose.
