Simple OSPF configuration, but not work as I imagined

berniechen · ‎02-05-2012

Hi

I try to set up a very simple OSPF configuration. Cause I do not have Cisco router, it is tested by qugga in VM.

RTA(192.168.0.1) <------->(192.168.0.2) RTB (192.168.2.2)<--------> (192.168.2.3)RTC

All of interfaces belong back-bone area.

When I ping 192.168,2,2 from RTA, it is OK. Then I ping 192.168.2.3, it fails. I paste running-config below. It is quite simple. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with it. It is a quagga's issue, configuration issue or it just work as OSPF designed?

BTW, I try to set 192.168.0.0/24 to area 0.0.0.1, but nothing changes.

RTA

Current configuration:

!

hostname ospfd

password zebra

log stdout

!

interface eth0

!

interface lo

!

router ospf

network 192.168.0.0/24 area 0.0.0.0

!

end

RTB

Current configuration:

!

end

RTC

can you check if the neighborship is established betwee RTB and RTC?

or pass on the output of the following commands

sh ip ospf int br

sh ip ospf nei

sh ip ospf database

I believe the neighborship has been established. Cause I can ping 192.168.0.2 from RTC

Anyway I paste more information below as you requested. Thanks in advance

Hi ,

You should check the routing table of the systems.

RTC : route -n

RTB : route -n

RTA : route -n

Dan

berniechen · ‎02-06-2012

Hi Dan

I think the routing table in RTB is wrong. I also capture the ping packet, when I ping 192.168.2.3 from RTA, the ping request packet only can be catched in ETH1 RTB. But why? Did I miss anything for OSPF configration.

RTA

:~# route -n

Why you have so many zeros after area? Also you don't have a process ID for OSPF.

When you configure network statement, area has only one 0.

Example:

router ospf 1

network 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

network 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

That should fix your OSPF routing

berniechen · ‎02-06-2012

Hi Eugen

Thanks for your suggestion, it does not work. And I personally dun think there is any difference between 0.0.0.0 and 0

And I am not sure whta is process ID, is it router ID? If yes, quagga will assiagn the router ID automatically.

Thanks

Chen Xi

Dan-Ciprian Cicioiu · ‎02-06-2012

Area ID si different from process ID.

Area ID has a 32 bit lenght.

So area 0 is area 0.0.0.0 , area 1 is area 0.0.0.1 ... and so on

Dan

Dan-Ciprian Cicioiu · ‎02-06-2012

It seams ok.RTB has 2 connected networks and RTC and RTA have 1 connected and 1 routed each

Do you have any filtering on any of the systems ?

iptables -L -nxv

Also can you check from RTB that you can ping both RTA and RTB.

Dan

ebarticel · ‎02-06-2012

I don't know much about Quadda, but I have another suggestion.

If this is a software solution why don't you set OSPF priority to 0 on RTA and RTC and have just RTB as DR, without BDR.

Maybe it will help.

Eugen

cadet alain · ‎02-06-2012

Hi Eugen,

this is a Quagga config not an IOS config so no need for the pid and concerning the area number this is a 32 bits value which can be expressed in decimal or dotted decimal notation so 0.0.0.0 is perfectly valid.

Regards.

Alain

Hi Alain,

Even with IOS , the 32bit area id is valid.

Dan

cadet alain · ‎02-06-2012

Hi Dan,

I know but I didn't say the contrary, did I ?

Thanks Alain. I never heard of Quagga config. What is that?
