Incorrect routing information

Symptom

OSPF cannot find routes to other areas.

Analysis

The backbone area must maintain connectivity to all other areas. If a router connects to more than one area, a minimum of one area must be connected to the backbone. The backbone cannot be configured as a stub area.

In a stub area, all routers cannot receive external routes, and all interfaces connected to the stub area must belong to the stub area.

Solution

To resolve the problem:

  1. Use the display ospf peer command to verify neighbor information.

  2. Use the display ospf interface command to verify OSPF interface information.

  3. Use the display ospf lsdb command to verify the LSDB.

  4. Use the display current-configuration configuration ospf command to verify area configuration. If more than two areas are configured, a minimum of one area is connected to the backbone.

  5. In a stub area, all routers attached are configured with the stub command. In an NSSA area, all routers attached are configured with the nssa command.

  6. If a virtual link is configured, use the display ospf vlink command to verify the state of the virtual link.
