OSPF Tshoot

The document lists several potential reasons why OSPFv2 neighbor relationships may fail to form, including interfaces being down or not enabled for OSPF, mismatched timers or area numbers/types between neighbors, different subnets, passive interfaces, mismatched authentication, ACLs denying OSPF packets, MTU mismatches, duplicate router IDs, or mismatched network types. It also provides commands for troubleshooting OSPF configuration and neighbor relationships.

OSPF Tshoot Tickets:

The following are some of the reasons an OSPFv2 neighbor relationship might not form:
Interface is Down - The interface must be up/up.
Interface not Running the OSPF Process - If the interface is not enabled for OSPF, it does not
send hello packets or form adjacencies.
Mismatched Timers - Hello and dead timers must match between neighbors.
Mismatched Area Numbers - The two ends of a link must be in the same OSPF area.
Mismatched Area Type - In addition to a normal OSPF area type, an area type could be a stub
area or a not-so-stubby area (NSSA). The routers must agree on the type of area they are in.
Different Subnets - Neighbors must be in the same subnet.
Passive Interface - The passive interface feature suppresses the sending and receiving of hello
packets while still allowing the interface’s network to be advertised.
Mismatched authentication information - Both OSPF interfaces must be configured for
matching authentication.
ACLs - An ACL may be denying packets to the OSPF multicast address 224.0.0.5.
MTU Mismatch - The maximum transmission unit of neighboring interfaces must match.
Duplicate Router IDs - Router IDs must be unique.
Mismatched Network Types - neighbors configured with a different OSPF network type might
not form an adjacency.
