always get me down. I had to cover for someone who is out on vacation. Simple customer network, hub and 6 spokes over frame relay. no biggie, except the installation people couldn't get it to work, so they had to call in the designer or the poor fool covering for him.
hub site uses a single subinterface, and manual frame mapping. each spoke uses the physical interface. don't get me started. I would have done multiple point-to-point subinterfaces, and I would have knee jerked to EIGRP, but that's another story. Besides, the customer was probably a cheapskate, and didn't want to pay the few extra bucks a month for more PVC's at the hub. In any case, the configs looked good to me and I was able to mock something up in my home lab. ospf network type point-to-multipoint on all interfaces and the hub site subinterface. works like a charm. however, in the customer network, two of the spoke sites just would not come up or form ospf neighbor relationships. all the frame mappings were ok. I could ping from any router to any other router. so what gives? when I checked the debugs on the spoke sites that were failing, I could see an error about the link going down every time I put an ospf network point-to-multipoint command on the interface. as soon as I changed the ospf network type to broadcast, the link came up and adjacencies formed. I checked CCO and did not find anything in particular. There is a bug listed for ospf point-to-multipoint and unnumbered interfaces. I called TAC, but no help there. this got me to wondering if anyone has run into anything like this before?
