In a hub-and-spoke environment the spokes will not become neighbors. This is why--if you're using either broadcast or NBMA network types--that it's important to force the hub to be the DR. All routers on a broadcast or NBMA network must form an adjacency with the DR and BDR but that's not possible if the DR or BDR is a spoke router.
John >>> "Cisco Nuts" 1/15/02 4:01:02 PM >>> Hello, Just reconfigured my 3 routers from non-broadcast to point-to-multipoint mode. Can see the routes on all 3 routers and can actually ping from RTA to RTC's networks fine and vice-versa.(RTB is acting as the hub). Problem is I don't see RTA forming a neighbor relationship with RTC and vice-versa but pings work fine!! RTA#sh ip ospf nei Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface N/A 0 DOWN/ - - 7.7.7.2 Serial0 9.9.9.9 1 FULL/ - 00:01:48 7.7.7.1 Serial0 RTA#ping 16.16.16.1 -----------(RTC's loopback ip) Type escape sequence to abort. Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 16.16.16.1, timeout is 2 seconds: !!!!! Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 116/116/116 ms Why is this working without RTA forming a neighbor with RTC? Please advise. Thank you. _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=32094&t=32094 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
