Tim, I have also been looking into this. As far as I know this is definate -you cannot have a the following:
Hub - ip ospf network point-to-multipoint and spokes - ip ospf network broadcast ( Or the other way around ) due to a mismatch in the hello packets ala 3d00h: OSPF: Rcv hello from 192.168.1.1 area 1 from Serial0/0 10.128.10.8 3d00h: OSPF: Mismatched hello parameters from 10.128.10.8 3d00h: Dead R 120 C 40, Hello R 30 C 10 Mask R 255.255.255.0 C 255.255.255.0 3d00h: OSPF: Rcv hello from 192.168.1.1 area 1 from Serial0/0 10.128.10.8 3d00h: OSPF: Mismatched hello parameters from 10.128.10.8 Also remember that: "ip ospf network broadcast" gives subnet routes and DR/BDR ala r2#sh ip os ne r2#sh ip os neighbor Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface 192.168.1.1 1 FULL/DR 00:00:33 10.128.10.8 Serial0/0 r2#sh ip route r2#sh ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR P - periodic downloaded static route Gateway of last resort is not set 10.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets C 10.128.10.0 is directly connected, Serial0/0 <-- Note subnet r2# " ip ospf network point-to-multipoint " gives host routes ,neighbours and no DR/BDR ala r2#sh ip os ne r2#sh ip os neighbor Neighbor ID Pri State Dead Time Address Interface 192.168.1.1 1 FULL/ - 00:01:42 10.128.10.8 Serial0/0 r2#sh ip route r2#sh ip route Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2 E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS inter area * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR P - periodic downloaded static route Gateway of last resort is not set 10.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 3 subnets, 2 masks C 10.128.10.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0/0 O 10.128.10.3/32 [110/128] via 10.128.10.8, 00:01:09, Serial0/0 O 10.128.10.8/32 [110/64] via 10.128.10.8, 00:01:09, Serial0/0 ^ Note host routes | Hope this helps Rich Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=36808&t=36781 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
