Repeatedly logging %OSPF-5-ADJCHG from LOADING to DOWN

George Mason
Level 1
Level 1

Hi all,

 

We are facing an issue where one device (ME3600X) is unable to establish an OSPF adjacency with its neighbours. It connects to the other OSPF peers via a /29 network with OSPF in broadcast mode. The other peers within the /29 are able to peer successfully. On the other peers, OSPF goes from LOADING -> FULL as you would expect, but this repeats every few seconds. On the problem box OSPF repeatedly logs LOADING -> DOWN and "Dead timer expired".

 

Things I have checked:

 

- MTU common across all devices

- Layer 3 connectivity also fine between all peers

- OSPF timers the same across all peers

 

The following messages were logged on the peer on which OSPF doesn't establish:

In these log file, the peers are as follows:

 

1.1.2.126 <== problem peer

1.1.2.127 & 1.1.3.226 <== other, working OSPF peers, all of which have interfaces in the /29

 

I can't see any errors here so am struggling to understand why OSPF isn't establishing, I would be very grateful of any input.

 

Thanks

 

George

To anyone else facing the same issue, I managed to solve this in the end.

 

The issue appeared to have been the result of a software bug. I checked (far too late in the process!) the image on the box and found it to be a very old version 15.4-1.S1. I updated the image and OSPF came up, and stayed up.

 

Thanks to all for their support.

Looks for me split brain issue i guess here, I am thinking devices  to elect more than 1 DR in the Segment.

 

can you post below output :

 

show run interface vlan 901

show ip ospf interface vlan 901

show ip ospf neighbor

 

some troubleshoot tips :

Are you trying to neighbour with 2 peers ? or only one, do you have any network how these connected ?

 

because of this this will try to establish neighbourship in the broadcast domain, that is vlan 901 with any IP range  (1.1.2.52 255.255.255.248)

ip ospf network broadcast

 

try  :

 

ip ospf network point-to-point

 

this is example ? but we need to know more information as i have asked.

Hi BB

 

No, there are 4 peers in a /29 - like this:

 

Screenshot 2021-10-25 at 10.41.45.png

 

The green one doesn't yet have OSPF configured on this VLAN, the red is the one mentioned above on which OSPF logs "dead timer expired"

 

All peers can ping each other within 1.1.2.48/29. All are in broadcast mode - which I believe is correct for this topology? 

is this a real or LAB environment ?

 

Can you post same output (the one posted before from all routers)

 

and which one you like to be DR ?

This is a real environment, not lab, although of course the IPs have been edited for public posting. 

 

I'm happy with 1.1.3.226 being the DR and when all is configured I would have 1.1.3.227 as BDR, but for the moment the other peer (1.1.2.127) is fine.

thanks for the information, if they all part of VLAN 901 and you are sure (since i did not see otehr device config here)

 

by default all OSPF take as priorty 1

 

This for DR

ip ospf priority 100

 

This for BDR

ip ospf priority 90

 

DROTHER

 

This for DR

ip ospf priority 0

 

and test it.

How to Ask The Cisco Community for Help

Hello,

 

just for clarification: you have Vlan901 configured:

 

interface Vlan901
ip address 1.1.2.52 255.255.255.248

 

The host range is:

 

1.1.2.49 - 1.1.2.54

 

I am not sure how these two IP addresses can be part of Vlan 901, can you clarify the IP addressing ?

 

Vl901: Elect BDR 1.1.2.127
Vl901: Elect DR 1.1.3.226

 

Hi Georg,

 

Sure I can see how that is confusing. The IPs 1.1.2.127 and 1.1.3.226 are the IPs of Loopback0 on both of these two peers, which all have a 32 bit mask and are also the OSPF router-ids. In VLAN901 each of these peers has an IP and they can all ping each other on those. If OSPF came up it would share the loopback IPs and everything would work.

 

The diagram I posted before showed this, let me know if this doesn't make sense for any reason:

Hello,

 

that makes sense of course. I assume the IP addresses of the non-Meraki devices are configured on physical interfaces ?

Well, these are ME3600X devices so the IP addresses are on SVIs - but to all intents and purposes these behave like physical interfaces so yes, the IPs in 1.1.2.48/29 are effectively assigned to "physical" interfaces.

 

I have also in the meantime tried using `ip ospf mtu-ignore` on the interfaces concerned (despite the MTU being the same, just to rule this out) but this has also had no effect on the issue.

 

I am thinking next I will reset the OSPF processes on all peers just to see if something is cached in memory but I cannot do that until this evening. 

Hello,

 

in your original post, it sounded you had one Meraki device mixed with other devices:

 

--> We are facing an issue where one device (ME3600X) is unable to establish an OSPF adjacency with its neighbours

 

Either way, try and configure Loopback IP address that are completely different from the IP addressing you use for Vlan 901, e.g.:

 

Loopback1

ip address 11.11.11.11 255.255.255.255

 

etc.

Sorry for the confusion - ME3600X is a Cisco metro Ethernet layer 3 switch

Thanks - but why would this help? The Loopback addresses are definitely not in 1.1.2.48/29 so surely it would be the same? I'm all for trying stuff but like there to be some logic to it before jumping in!

Hello

- MTU common across all devices

- Layer 3 connectivity also fine between all peers

- OSPF timers the same across all peers
