Setting up OSPF Neighbours

[Stuart D]

Hi,

I'm trying to connect two routers using OSPF, but when issuing a 'sh ip ospf neighbor' the two are not showing as neighbours. Could someone offer some insight as to why this may be?

Here are the configurations for both routers:

R1:

interface GigabitEthernet0/0

no ip address

duplex auto

speed auto

shutdown

!

interface GigabitEthernet0/1

no ip address

duplex auto

speed auto

shutdown

!

interface Serial0/0/0

ip address 198.222.123.18 255.255.255.0

!

interface Serial0/0/1

no ip address

clock rate 2000000

shutdown

!

interface Vlan1

no ip address

shutdown

!

router ospf 1

log-adjacency-changes

network 198.222.123.0 0.0.0.15 area 0

!

ip classless

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Loopback0

!

R2:

interface Serial0/0/0

ip address 198.222.123.17 255.255.255.240

clock rate 128000

!

interface Serial0/0/1

no ip address

clock rate 2000000

shutdown

!

interface Vlan1

no ip address

shutdown

!

router ospf 1

log-adjacency-changes

network 198.222.123.0 0.0.0.15 area 0

network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

!

ip classless

!

I'm pretty inexperienced with this, so I apologise if it's something super simple. 

Thank you in advance

Hello

Do you have reach ability between the two rtrs looks?
interface Serial0/0/0
ip address 198.222.123.18 255.255.255.0

R1
int Serial0/0/0
ip address 198.222.123.18 255.255.255.0  <---incorrect mask

router ospf 1
no network 198.222.123.0 0.0.0.15 area 0
network 198.222.123.18 0.0.0.0 area 0

R2
int Serial0/0/0
ip address 198.222.123.17 255.255.255.240  <---incorrect mask
router ospf 1
no network 198.222.123.0 0.0.0.15 area 0
network 198.222.123.17 0.0.0.0 area 0

first off, you're using addresses on a different subnet than is defined, and on R1, the mask on s0/0/0 is wrong. What I would suggest is:

R1

interface Serial0/0/0

ip address 198.222.123.18 255.255.255.240

!

router ospf 1

network 198.222.123.16 0.0.0.15 area 0

R2

router ospf 1

network 198.222.123.16 0.0.0.15 area 0

and see what happens. You can always run a debug right now and see what falls out.

remember that when it comes to IGPs, the hellos are sent out on any interface that falls within the defined network range. Since you have it defined as subnet zero, but your interfaces addressed on subnet.16, it won't send out any hellos at all.

interface Serial0/0/0

ip address 198.222.123.18 255.255.255.0

network 198.222.123.0 0.0.0.15 area 0

R2:

interface Serial0/0/0

ip address 198.222.123.17 255.255.255.240

clock rate 128000

They dont stay at the same network.

Hi @Stuart D ,

In R1 correct this:

R1(config)# interface Serial0/0/0

R1(config-if)# no ip add

R1(config-if)# ip address 198.222.123.18 255.255.255.240

Surely it was a typo error when entering the mask in that interface

Thanks everyone for your help! All sorted now, that had me pulling my hair out all afternoon!
