Simulated link failure w/OSPF in Packet Tracer

brian03801

Level 1

Hey gang, 

I've been using Packet Tracer (v7) to do a little bit of design work and what not, and I noticed a peculiar problem when I simulate a link failure in a very basic OSPF environment. At first I thought maybe it was my config (knocking some dust off, and I was playing with multi-area OSPF), but I stripped it down the vanilla-est of vanilla with a single area OSPF config, and I'm still having the same problem. 

So, the problem: Whenever I simulate a link failure on any of my routers, I lose ALL of their previously learned OSPF routes, and they never recalculate routes no matter how long I wait. Is this a bug in PT v7? All of the OSPF timers are set to default. All routers still show adjacency with their directly connected neighbors. I feel like I'm either going crazy, or I'm missing something so obvious that I'm going to be embarrassed. Thanks for any help!

I pasted the configs below. Like I said, vanilla. 

When I simulate the link failure between R1 and R3, debug shows the following output:

Interface down or detached

I have this problem too. I hope it's a Packet Tracer bug.

Hello, exactly the same problem, all the ospf routes disappeared on the routers with the link cut. I have to force the re-convergence SPF algorithme by reboot a router or re-enter the router ospf commands.

 

Have you some news? (pkt v7.0 64bits)

Had this problem too with PT 7.1

Problem seems to be solved in 7.1.1
