OSPF configuration

ssweehinlew · ‎02-26-2015

I try to setup the simple OSPF connection between 2 switches. The setup was done and the protocol is running. When I do the tracertroute from workstation 172.21.6.1 to the next 2 hop of the IP 172.21.3.1, it cannot reach it. It stop at the gateway 172.21.6.254.

Any items I miss out and does static route need to be added?

SW1(config)#router ospf 1
SW1(config-router)#network 172.21.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW1(config-router)#network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW1(config-router)#network 10.1.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 2

SW2(config)#router ospf 1
SW2(config-router)#network 172.21.6.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW2(config-router)#network 2.2.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW2(config-router)#network 172.21.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 2

You need to have common subnet between the 2 switches in order for the peering to work correctly

lets assume int gi0/1 on switch-1 and gi0/1 on switch-2 are connecting the switches together

You need a config like this for each interface

switch-1

config t

int gi0/1

ip add 172.21.3.1 255.255.255.0

no sh

router ospf 1

network 172.21.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

switch-2

config t

int gi0/1

ip add 172.21.3.2 255.255.255.0

no sh

router ospf 1

network 172.21.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

verify with "sh ip os nei" the switches are neighbors

Let me try it out first.

Hello

Can you ping the neighbour, is so can you do it with also with a large mtu size specified?

Hi,

Please refer to below. I have no problem to ping the interface from both of the switches. Can I know confirm that no static route is required for this setup in order for sw1 to ping to sw2 loopback interface?

Hello

On the switch interface running ip ospf

int x/x
ip ospf ignore-mtu

After i issue the ip ospf mtu-ignore, i do not see the message "00:04:34: OSPF: Nbr 2.2.2.2 has smaller interface MTU" come out from debug log.

I still have one question about it. Does static route is required for this setup in order for sw1 to ping to sw2 loopback interface and vice versa?

paul driver · ‎03-03-2015

Hello

I am a bit confused now as to how your topology is set up, Can you post a diagram and running config of your switches please

The connection is just between 2 switches.

Below configuration indicated the network advertises the route to each other from both switches. Does static route is required?

SW1(config)#router ospf 1
SW1(config-router)#network 172.21.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW1(config-router)#network 1.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW1(config-router)#network 10.1.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 2

SW2(config)#router ospf 1
SW2(config-router)#network 172.21.6.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW2(config-router)#network 2.2.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
SW2(config-router)#network 172.21.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 2

Jon Marshall · ‎03-13-2015

No, you should not need a static route if OSPF is running and exchanging routes properly.

Are you saying it is not working ?

Jon

ssweehinlew · ‎03-13-2015

Yes. It is not working until I added in the static route. I wonder how come like that..

Jon Marshall · ‎03-13-2015

Can you draw a quick diagram showing the IPs of the switch connections and where the PCs are ?

What do the routing tables look like on each switch ?

Jon

set the mtu back to default 1500 (on both routers)

interface xxx
no ip mtu
