I am working on a hub and spoke topology. I have my Areas configured and interfaces as well on the hub and spokes but I believe I must be missing some or doing something wrong. As right right now the spokes see only the hub as a neighbor however the link says not established. The FTD/Hub side sees all three neighbors but when I show it says EXCHANGE/ for the neighbors.
Here is what I'm seeing when I do a show ospf neighbor:
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
10.100.0.4 0 EXCHANGE/ - 0:00:36 10.255.255.4 S2S-HubSpoke_va33
10.100.0.5 0 EXCHANGE/ - 0:00:35 10.255.255.5 S2S-HubSpoke_va32
10.100.0.6 0 EXCHANGE/ - 0:00:39 10.255.255.6 S2S-HubSpoke_va31
Here is a show ospf
Routing Process "ospf 1" with ID 10.100.0.1
Start time: 1w5d, Time elapsed: 1d16h
Supports only single TOS(TOS0) routes
Does not support opaque LSA

Supports area transit capability
Event-log enabled, Maximum number of events: 1000, Mode: cyclic
It is an autonomous system boundary router

Below is a diagram of the Topology and some extra information of
To state I have the S2S VTI interface OSPF set to point-to-point. I have the internal networks set as broadcast.
Here is what I setup for the interface:
No Authentication at the moment(troubleshooting purpose)
Hello interval (10s)
Delay (1s)
Retransmit (5s)
Dead Interval (40s)
Cost 1

Routes are now flowing and I have Full connection to all the neighbors!!
Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface
10.100.0.5 0 FULL/ - 0:00:33 10.255.255.5 S2S-HubSpoke_va21
10.100.0.6 0 FULL/ - 0:00:35 10.255.255.6 S2S-HubSpoke_va20

To summary
1-Now you use broadcast and use hub ad DR
2- LO IP you mentioned in link (which I think it same what I share with you before) is use only for barrow IP that all.
3-mtu mismatch, İ retrun to your original post it true you mentioned that spokes is other vendor not FTD, but
FTD VTI by defualt support PMTU unless remote peer stop it.
Anyway glad issue is solve and for spoke to spoke ospf, you can not establish that the only allow ospf is between spoke to hub.
For mtu let me check this point update you if I get something

BTW, whenever I used static VTIs on Cisco routers, I recall they were always P2P. However, don't know about your hub device.

Hello
as you’ve set ignore mtu - even though your ospf adjececys have established you still have a underlying mtu mismatch -which i would say you may still need to address

Yeah I noticed it was the Spoke it was set to 1419. Now I just need to find out how to get Remote Access VPN to show in the OSPF routing and Layer3 nets. Will do thank you
