OSPF and Multicontext Firewalls

[babai1981]

I am currently trying to configure multicontext firewall where the outside interfaces of each of the three context is on the same subnet. When I am running ospf only one of the context is creating adjacency and others are stuck in exchange state.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Switch SVI (vrf) 10.1.0.8 /24

router ospf 11

network 10.1.0.0/24

FWA Outside  Ctxa               FWA Outside   Ctxb                 FWC Outside Ctx c

 10.1.0.9                               10.1.0.10                                   10.1.0.11

router ospf 10                       router ospf 11                          router ospf 12

network 10.1.0.0/24             network 10.1.0.0/24               network 10.1.0.0/24

Here i only see 10.1.0.11 having the adjacency and .9 and 10 are in exch state.

Fwa , b and c have separate physical interfaces mapped to the context

So, the FW has 3 physical interfaces (each in a vrf) connecting to one switch using one vrf?

If so, on the switch side try using the global routing table instead of a vrf.
