INIT/DROTHER state remains of OSPF between a ASA and Router

[CiscoBrownBelt]

So for my lab, the ospf state remains INIT/DROTHER when doing "show ip ospf neighbor" on the router and shows nothing at all on the ASA. I am not sure what is configured wrong. Here are the applicable configs and that is basically any more complex config done on the devices. 

On ASA:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.0
ospf authentication-key *****
ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 *****
ospf authentication message-digest

router ospf 1
router-id 100.10.10.1
network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 area 0
area 0 authentication
log-adj-changes

On Router:

interface GigabitEthernet2
ip address 10.10.10.1 255.255.255.0
ip ospf authentication message-digest
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 cisco123
ip ospf 1 area 0
negotiation auto
no mop enabled
no mop sysid

router ospf 1
router-id 100.10.10.10

The ASA is probably blocking the OSPF hellos coming from the router.

Hi sorry forgot to say I have ACLs on inside and outside interfaces "permit ip any any"

[Harold Ritter]

If the "show ip ospf nei" output on the ASA does not show anything, it is because the OSPF hellos are not received. It appears that the ASA is blocking messages inbound. Could you provide us with the part of the configuration that shows how you apply the ACL to the "outside" interface.

Regards,

[rishrapsody1]

Can you please confirm if both the devices are directly connected?

Please share output of 'show ip ospf interface <int name>' on your ASA device.

Also, please check share entire ospf config from your ASA.

[CiscoBrownBelt]

Yes they are both connected. See configs and other info in post below.

Hello CiscoBlueBelt,

you are trying to use MD5 authentication I would suggest to try again without any authentication configured on both sides to see if in this simplified case you can get a working OSPF adjacency.

On the cisco router side you can use

debug ip ospf adj

to see possible issues without authentication and with authentication enabled.

Hope to help

Removed all commands and just re-configured ospf globally without authentication and no bueno. Devices are connected from g0/0 on ASA to G2 on Router. Both interfaces can ping. ACL in ASA "permit ip any any. debug ip ospf adj on router show mismatched auth when authentication is NOT configured. Same debug on ASA shows nothing. 

See configs below.

[Giuseppe Larosa]

Hello CiscoBlueBelt,

type 0 should be authentication null, type 2 is likely md5 digest.

You can try the following on ASA:

a) try to force authentication null for area0

router ospf 1

area 0 authentication null

b) if the above command is not accepted, being the OSPF process-id a local number that does not need to match

delete router ospf 1 and create a new process ospf 11 on the ASA

no router ospf 1

router ospf 11

router-id 10.10.10.1
network 10.10.10.0 255.255.255.0 area 0
log-adj-changes

Hope to help
