OSPF problem

[tmesbah]

Hi,

We are having a problem to establish ospf neig with nortel contivity when using SUP 720, running in native mode IOS#12.2(18)SXF7". No problem in production when using SUP2/MSFC2 IOS#12.1(20)E3. Any change in IOS regarding OSPF ?

Here is some conf and debug:

Is this the configuration from the Cisco? Can you post config from the Nortel? Have you looked at the authentication?

[royalblues]

Try removing the authentication from the OSPF process and check.

This might be because the Nortel box doesn't support LLS, in which case it should normally simply ignore the option.

Try configuring "no capability lls" under the router ospf process.

Hope this helps,

I added the command that hritter suggested and now I can see the Nortel box as OSPF neig.

Is this command will affect other cisco router that I have in the network "I am doing this in the LAB and we don't have other Cisco routers to test this behavior"?

Thanks hritter

[Harold Ritter]

LLS is mainly used in support of Cisco OSPF Graceful Restart (GR).

Disabling LLS will have no impact on the other Cisco routers in your network since you are not using OSPF GR in your configuration.

Hope this helps,

Can you ping the nortel box from the cisco ?

[tdrais]

If you have other routers that need the authentication then you will have to put it back and disable it only for the interface that has the nortel on it or configure the nortel to use md5 keys.

IP OSPF AUTHENTICATION NULL

This command will override the global settings on a interface.

The NORTEL's (BAY router) default timers (hello, Dead) are not the same as the Cisco (they were different back in the 90's.. I have not touched a Bay router since they were bought by Nortel). "Debug ip OSPF ADJ" and "Debug IP OSPF Events" should give you an error telling you if and what the differences are.
