Hi,
I'm having problems with ospf in the current setup;
2 customer L3 switches (S1 and S2)(using 3750s to simulate)(Running ospf only) dual homed to 2 x 3750 metro switches running ospf and BGP (S3 and S4). These 2 switches connect to another switch that I have setup to simulate a BT BGP peer (S5).
It all runs fine at first. One of the Metros is the preferred route that will have a faster link.
The problem occurs when I power off the preferred gateway metro switch. When it comes back its neighbours can all be seen but it does not learn any ospf routes at all. This happens until the ospf process is cleared and then the ospf routes return. running 12.2-25.SEG3

Just nailed it down to the redistribution of ospf into BGP.
Once that is removed it works. Just need to figure out how to redistribute correctly.

As an update to this, we got it working with the network x.x.x.x backdoor commands but it seems a bit flaky, requiring the ospf and BGP to be restarted sometimes when we fail a switch and bring it back up.
We then tried the other way redistributing bgp into ospf but ran into more problems.
The best method we have at the moment is altering the distance if the ibgp to higher than the ospf routes with "distance bgp 150 200 200". Definitely NOT recommended by all the documents i've read but it seems more stable and dynamic than the bgp backdoor method.
