Common OSPF Problems
  • Hello/Dead Interval MismatchAuthentication type
    and key
  • Mismatch in area ID
  • debug ip ospf adj
  • show ip ospf neighbor

Mismatched Stub/Transit/NSSA Area Options
  • When OSPF exchanges Hello packets with a
    neighbor, one of the things that it exchanges is
    an optional capability represented by 8 bits.
  • One of the option fields is for the E bit, which
    is the OSPF stub flag. When the E bit is set to
    0, the area with which the route is associated is
    a stub area, and no external LSAs are allowed in
    this area.
  • If the E bit does not match on both sides, an
    adjacency will not be formed. This is called an
    optional capabilities mismatch.

OSPF Stuck in ATTEMPT
  • This problem is only valid for NMBA networks in
    which neighbor statements have been defined.
  • Stuck in ATTEMPT means that a router is trying to
    contact a neighbor by sending its Hello, but it
    has not received a response. The output of show
    ip ospf neighbor indicates this problem exists.
  • The most common possible causes of the problem
    are
  • Misconfigured neighbor statement
  • Unicast connectivity is broken on NBMA, which
    could be due to a wrong DLCI, an access list, or
    NAT translating the unicast.

adjacencies
  • Routers being neighbors does not guarantee an
    exchange of link state updates.
  • Neighbor routers must form adjacencies in order
    for this to happen. Interface type plays a major
    role in how the adjacencies are formed. For
    example, neighbors on point-to-point links always
    become adjacent. Once a router decides to form an
    adjacency with a neighbor, it starts by
    exchanging a full copy of its link state
    database. The neighbor follows suit.

7
adjacencies
  • After passing through several neighbor states,
    the routers will become adjacent. The following
    is a list of the different states that OSPF can
    be stuck in and some of the possible causes.

OSPF Stuck in ATTEMPT
  • This problem is only valid for NMBA networks in
    which neighbor statements have been defined.
    Stuck in ATTEMPT means that a router is trying to
    contact a neighbor by sending its Hello, but it
    has not received a response.
  • The output of show ip ospf neighbor indicates
    this problem exists.
  • The most common possible causes of the problem
    are next slide

9
  • Misconfigured neighbor statement
  • Unicast connectivity is broken on NBMA, which
    could be due to a wrong DLCI, an access list, or
    NAT translating the unicast.

10
  • OSPF Stuck in INITThe INIT state indicates that
    a router sees hello packets from the neighbor,
    but two-way communication has not been
    established. A Cisco router includes the router
    IDs of all neighbors in the INIT (or higher)
    state in the neighbor field of its hello packets.
    For two-way communication to be established with
    a neighbor, a router also must see its own router
    ID in the neighbor field of the hello packets
    coming from the neighbor router. The output of
    the show ip ospf neighbor command indicates that
    the router is stuck in INIT.

11
  • The most common possible causes of this problem
    are
  • An access list on one side is blocking OSPF
    Hellos.
  • Multicast capabilities are broken on one side
    (switch problem).
  • Authentication is enabled on only one side.
  • The frame-relay map/dialer map statement on one
    side is missing the broadcast keyword.
  • Hellos are getting lost on one side at Layer 2

12
  • OSPF Stuck in 2-WAYThe 2-WAY state is an
    indication that the router has seen its own
    Router ID in the neighbor field of the neighbor
    hello packet. The reception of a Database
    Descriptor (DBD) packet from a neighbor in the
    INIT state will also cause a transition to 2-way
    state. The OSPF neighbor 2-WAY state is not a
    cause for concern.
  • On networks that require a DR/BDR election to
    take place, if all routers are configured with
    priority 0, there will be no election process.
    All routers will remain in 2-WAY state, as the
    show ip ospf neighbor command will indicate.
    The solution is to make sure at least one router
    has an ip ospf priority of at least 1.

13
Show ip ospf neighbor
14
OSPF Stuck in EXSTART/EXCHANGE
  • OSPF neighbors that are in EXSTART or EXCHANGE
    state are in the process of trying to exchange
    DBD packets. The router and its neighbor form a
    master/slave relationship. The adjacency should
    continue past this state. If it does not, there
    is a problem with the DBD exchange, such as MTU
    mismatch, or the receipt of an unexpected DBD
    sequence number.

15
  • The most common possible causes of this problem
    are
  • Mismatched interface MTU.
  • Duplicate Router IDs on neighbors.
  • Inability to ping across with more than certain
    MTU size.
  • Broken unicast connectivity, which could be due
    to a wrong DLCI, an access list, or NAT
    translating the unicast.
  • The debug ip ospf adj command can help diagnose
    these problems, as shown in Figure , which
    indicates an MTU interface mismatch.

16
  • OSPF Stuck in LOADINGIn the LOADING state,
    routers send link-state request packets. During
    the adjacency, if a router receives an outdated
    or missing link-state advertisement (LSA), it
    requests that LSA by sending a link-state request
    packet. Neighbors that do not transition beyond
    this state are most likely exchanging corrupted
    LSAs. This problem is usually accompanied by a
    "OSPF-4-BADLSA" console message.
  • Since this is not a common problem, it is
    recommend that the network administrator contacts
    the Cisco TAC.

17
  • If a neighbor does not reply or a neighbor reply
    never reaches the local router, the router will
    also be stuck in the LOADING state. The most
    common possible causes of the problem are
  • Mismatched MTU
  • Corrupted link-state request packet
  • The output of show ip ospf neighbor indicates
    that the R2 neighbor is stuck in LOADING.
  • The debug ip ospf adj command can help diagnose
    these problems. Command output can indicate an
    MTU interface mismatch. Command output can also
    indicate a possible problem due to packet
    corruption.

unnumbered interfaces
  • When OSPF creates a router LSA for point-to-point
    links, it adheres to the following rule to fill
    the Link ID and Link Data fields within the
    router LSA. The Link Data field for unnumbered
    point-to-point links should have a MIB-II Index
    value. Because the link data value of the
    numbered interface does not match that of the
    unnumbered interface, this creates a discrepancy
    in the OSPF database.

30
Area 0
  • One of the functions of a Type 4 summary LSA is
    to announce the reacheability of an ASBR to other
    areas. The Type 4 LSA is not required if the ASBR
    exists in the same area. The ASBR does not
    generate the Type 4 summary LSA if it is not
    connected to area 0. To generate a summary LSA of
    Type 3 or Type 4, a router must have a connection
    to area 0. As a result, the external routes will
    not be installed in the network.

31
  • Debugs and VerificationThe output of show ip
    ospf database external command in Figure shows
    that the route exists in the external OSPF
    database of router R1. However, the output of
    show ip ospf database asbr-summary
  • The next logical step is to go on the ABR and see
    if it is indeed an ABR. If it is an ABR it will
    generate a summary LSA of Type 3 or Type 4. If it
    is not an ABR, it will not generate that summary.
    The output of the show ip ospf command in Figure
    shows that router R2, which is between two areas
    and may look like an ABR, is not identifying
    itself as an ABR. If R2 were an ABR, the output
    would display that is an Area Border Router.

32
  • Note All areas in an OSPF autonomous system must
    be physically or virtually connected to the
    backbone area (area 0). For a router to be an
    ABR, one of its interfaces must be part of area
    0.
  • SolutionIn this example, router R2 does not
    generate the Type 4 summary LSA because it is not
    connected to area 0. To generate a summary LSA of
    Type 3 or Type 4, a router must have a connection
    into area 0.
  • To solve this problem, router R2 must be
    connected to area 0, either physically or
    virtually by creating a virtual link, as shown in
    Figure . By configuring a virtual link on R2,
    the router is now virtually connected to area 0
    therefore, it now considers itself an ABR. After
    connecting R2 to area 0, the output of show ip
    ospf shows that it is now an ABR.

Route summarization
  • Route summarization allows a group of contiguous
    networks to be summarized as fewer addresses in
    order to help reduce the size of the routing
    table, thus increasing the performance of OSPF
    and other routing protocols. OSPF can use two
    types of summarization
  • Interarea route summarization that can be done on
    the ABR.
  • External route summarization that can be done on
    the ASBR.

37
Neighbor formation process
  • When OSPF forms an adjacency, it floods all of
    its link-state packets to its neighbor. This
    flooding sometimes takes a lot of CPU processing.
    Starting with Cisco IOS Software 12.0T, packet
    pacing was included to help prevent CPU
    processing problems from occurring. Prior to
    12.0T, the IOS did not support packet pacing.
  • During link-state flooding a router will try to
    send data as fast as it can over a link. If a
    link is slow or the router on the other side is
    slow in responding, this results in
    retransmission of the LSA and eventually leads to
    CPUHOG messages. Packet pacing adds a pacing
    interval between the LS updates. Instead of
    flooding everything at once, packet pacing sends
    the packet with a gap of a few milliseconds in
    between

38

39
  • LSA refresh processStarting with Cisco IOS 12.0,
    the LSA group pacing feature was introduced to
    eliminate a CPU processing problem that can occur
    every 30 minutes. Prior to IOS 12.0, all LSAs are
    flooded every 30 minutes to refresh the MAXAGE
    times in the link state database. Without this
    flooding, the LSAs would expire after 60 minutes.
    This flooding is also known as a paranoid update.
  • This flooding causes CPUHOG messages every 30
    minutes, especially in cases where a couple of
    thousand LSAs are all being flooded at the same
    time. The CPUHOG messages appear in the router
    log every 30 minutes.

40
  • LSA group packing looks at the LSA periodic
    interval (every 4 minutes, by default) and
    refreshes only those LSAs that are past their
    refresh time. This is an efficient way of
    reducing a large flood by chopping it down to
    smaller LSA floods. No extra configuration is
    required for this feature, but for large numbers
    of LSAs (generally 10,000 or more), it is
    recommended to use small intervals (for example,
    every 2 minutes) for a few hundred LSAs, use a
    large interval, such as 20 minutes.

41
  • If 10,000 LSAs need to be refreshed, keeping the
    refresh interval smaller will check the LSA every
    2 or 4 minutes to see how many LSAs have reached
    the refresh interval, which is 30 minutes. The
    advantage of checking this frequently is that few
    LSAs would need to be refreshed every 2 or 4
    minutes, and this will not cause a huge storm of
    LSA updates. If the number of LSAs is small, it
    really does not matter whether the refresh occurs
    at 2 minutes or 20 minutes. This is why it is
    better to increase the timer so that all the
    LSAs, which are few in number, can be refreshed
    at once. Figure shows how to configure the LSA
    refresh interval.

42
  • Whenever there is a change in topology, OSPF runs
    the SPF algorithm to compute the Shortest Path
    First tree again. Unstable links existing within
    the OSPF network could cause constant SPF
    calculations. Some of the most common reasons for
    SPF running constantly are
  • Interface flaps within the area
  • Neighbor interface flaps within the area
  • Duplicate router ID

43
  • Topology changes in an OSPF network cause SPF
    calculations within that area. The SPF is not
    recalculated if the topology change is in another
    area. Actually, OSPF distributes interarea
    (between areas) topology information using a
    distance-vector method. The ABRs forward routing
    information between areas using a distance vector
    technique similar to that of RIP or IGRP.
  • The following is an example of SPF running
    constantly due to an interface flap within the
    network. This is a common problem in OSPF.
    Whenever there is a link flap in an area, OSPF
    runs SPF within that area. So, if a network has
    unstable links, it can cause constant SPF
    calculations. SPF itself is not a problem because
    OSPF is just adjusting to the change in the
    database through calculating SPF.

44
  • Debugs and VerificationA link flap in an area
    causes SPF to run. If a link is flapping
    constantly, this can increase the number of SPF
    calculations in an area. A constant number of SPF
    calculations in not a problem, but if the number
    is incrementing constantly, it is an indication
    of a problem.
  • The output of show ip ospf, shows that there is a
    huge counter for SPF in area 0.
  • The easiest way to find out which particular LSA
    is flapping is to turn on debug ip ospf monitor.
    This debug command in Figure shows that a
    router LSA is flapping in area 0.
  • The next step is to determine which router LSA is
    flapping and check the log for any interface
    flap. The show log command in Figure shows the
    log of the router with router ID 192.168.1.129,
    the ID displayed in the output of the debug ip
    ospf monitor command. The log shows that a serial
    link keeps going up and down. Whenever there is
    an interface flap, it causes SPF to run.

45
  • SolutionThere are two solution to this problem
  • Fix the link that is flapping.
  • Redefine the area boundaries.
  • Sometimes, the first solution might not be
    manageable because the link is flapping as the
    result of a telco outage that is outside the
    network boundary. One way to fix this temporarily
    is to manually shut down the interface.
  • The second solution requires some redesigning. If
    the link flap is happening too often, it might be
    possible to redefine the area, exclude this
    router from the area, and make it a member of a
    totally stubby area. Sometimes, this is also
    difficult to implement, depending upon the
    physical location of this link.
  • In short, link flaps are realities if there are
    too many link flaps, the number of routers in an
    area should be decreased so that fewer routers
    are affected.

BGP Neighbor Relationships
  • Common Problems
  • Directly connected external BGP neighbors not
    initializing
  • Non-directly connected external BGP neighbors not
    initializing
  • Internal BGP neighbors not initializing
  • BGP neighbors (external and internal) not
    initializing

47
Directly connected external BGP neighbors not
initializing
  • The autonomous system (AS) will not send or
    receive any IP prefix updates to or from a
    neighboring AS unless the neighbor relationship
    reaches the Established state, which is the final
    stage of BGP neighbor establishment.
  • When an AS has a single EBGP connection, no IP
    connectivity can occur until BGP finalizes its
    operation of sending and receiving IP prefixes.

48
  • The most common possible causes of directly
    connected external BGP neighbors not initializing
    are
  • Layer 2 is down, preventing communication with
    directly connected EBGP neighbor.
  • An incorrect neighbor IP address is in the BGP
    configuration.

49
BGP FSM
  • BGP FSM includes six states
  • Idle
  • Connect
  • Active
  • OpenSent
  • Open Confirm
  • Established

Note These arrows should show pointing back to
the same state.
50
Idle State
  • BGP always begins in the Idle state, in which it
    refuses all incoming connections.
  • It is normally initiated by an administrator or a
    network event.
  • When Start event occurs, the BGP process
  • Initializes all BGP resources
  • Starts the ConnectRetry timer
  • Initializes a TCP connection the the neighbor
  • Listens for a TCP initialization from the
    neighbor
  • Changes its state to Connect

51
Connect State
  • In this state, the BGP process is waiting for the
    TCP connection to be completed.
  • If the connection is successful, the BGP process
  • Clears the ConnectRetry timer
  • Completes initialization
  • Sends an Open message to the neighbor
  • Transitions to the OpenSent state

52
Connect State
  • If the connection is unsuccessful, the BGP
    process
  • Continues to listen for a connection to be
    initiated by the neighbor
  • Resets the ConnectRetry timer
  • Transitions to the Active state

53
Active State
  • In this state, the BGP process is trying to
    initiate a TCP connection with the neighbor.
  • If the TCP connection is successful
  • Clears the ConnectRetry timer
  • Completes initialization
  • Sends an Open message to the neighbor
  • Transitions to the OpenSent state

54
Active State
  • If the ConnectRetry timer expires while BGP is in
    the Active State, the BGP process
  • Transitions back to the Connect state
  • Resets the ConnectRetry timer
  • In general, a neighbor state that is switching
    between "Connect" and "Active" is an indication
    that something is wrong and that there are
    problems with the TCP connection.
  • It could be because of many TCP retransmissions,
    or the incapability of a neighbor to reach the IP
    address of its peer.

55
OpenSent State
In this state an Open message has been sent and
BGP is waiting to hear an Open message from its
neighbor.
errors
No errors
  • When an Open message is received, all its fields
    are checked.
  • If errors exist, a Notification message is sent
    and the state transitions to Idle.
  • If no errors exist, a Keepalive message is sent
    and the Keepalive timer is set, the peer is
    determined to be internal or external, and state
    is changed to OpenConfirm.

56
OpenConfirm State
error
No errors
  • In this state, the BGP process waits for a
    Keepalive or Notification message.
  • If a Keepalive message is received, the state
    transitions to Established.
  • If a Notification message is received, or a TCP
    disconnect is received, the state transitions to
    Idle.

57
Established State
  • In this state, the BGP connection is fully
    established and the peers can exchange Update,
    Keepalive and Notification messages.
  • If an Update or Keepalive message is received,
    the Hold timer is restarted.
  • If a Notification message is received, the state
    transitions to Idle.

58
Bgp commands
  • Show ip bgp summary
  • Sho ip bgp neighbors
  • Show ip bgp summary
  • Sho ip bgp flap-statistics
  • Debug ip bgp dampeningeventskeepalivesupdates

59
Nondirectly connected external BGP neighbors not
initializing
  • In some cases, EBGP neighbors are not directly
    connected.
  • BGP neighbor relationships can be established
    between routers trying to make an EBGP neighbor
    relationship that are separated by one or more
    routers. Such a neighbor relationship is termed
    EBGP multihop in Cisco IOS Software.

60
Non directly Connected
  • Peering between loopbacks between EBGP typically
    is done when multiple interfaces exist between
    the routers, and IP traffic needs to be
    load-shared among those interfaces. Such a
    connection is considered nondirectly connected.
  • The most common possible causes for nondirectly
    connected external BGP neighbors not initializing
    are

61
  • The route to the nondirectly connected peer
    address is missing from the routing table.
  • The ebgp-multihop command is missing in BGP
    configuration.
  • The update-source interface command is missing.
  • The show ip bpg summary and show ip bgp neighbors
    commands can be used to show that the neighbor
    relationship is in Active state.
  • .

62
  • In the case of ebgp-multihop command missing in
    the BGP configuration, these commands will show
    that the BGP neighbor is in Idle state, because
    no resources are allocated to the BGP neighbor.
    This might be because the other side has not
    received any BGP negotiation

63
  • The solutions for the route to the nondirectly
    connected peer address is missing from the
    routing table is to either use a static route
    (common practice) to the connected peer address
    or a use an IGP dynamic routing protocol such as
    OSPF. This is usually an issue when peering is
    done between peers using loopback addresses.

64
  • Internal BGP neighbors not initializingIBGP can
    experience similar issues to EBGP in neighbor
    relationship. IBGP is an important piece of
    BGP-running networks. The causes of IBGP neighbor
    relationship issues are identical to those of
    EBGP
  • The route to the nondirectly connected IBGP
    neighbor is missing.
  • The update-source interface command is missing in
    BGP configuration.
  • The same troubleshooting and configuration
    techniques can be used for IBGP neighbor issues
    that are used for EBGP neighbor issues.

65
  • BGP neighbors (external and internal) not
    initializingInterface access list/filters are
    another common cause of BGP neighbor activation
    problems. If an interface access list
    unintentionally blocks TCP packets that carry BGP
    protocol packets, the BGP neighbor will not come
    up.

66
  • BGP requires the IP routing table to have an
    exact matching entry for the prefix that BGP is
    trying to advertise using the network and
    redistribute commands. The prefix and mask of the
    network that BGP is trying to advertise must be
    identical in the IP routing table and in the BGP
    configurations. Another cause to consider is BGP
    autosummarization of classful networks at major
    network boundaries. BGP might be trying to
    redistribute 100.100.100.0/24, but only
    100.0.0.0/8 gets advertised.
  • In most cases it would be desirable to turn off
    autosummarization with the no auto-summary
    command, so that proper mask routes can be
    advertised to BGP neighbors

67
  • Problem in propagating/originating a BGP route to
    IBGP/EBGP neighborsA scenario might arise in
    which the BGP configuration to originate and
    propagate routes looks good, but BGP neighbors
    are not receiving the routes. The originators
    BGP table shows all the routes. There is a
    possibility that configured distribute-list
    filters are the cause of the problem or a problem
    in the policy routing.

68
  • Problem in propagating a BGP route to an IBGP
    neighbor but not to an EBGP neighborIn some
    cases, certain routes are not propagated to IBGP
    neighbors, but are propagated only to EBGP
    neighbors.
  • When IBGP speakers in an AS are not fully meshed
    and have no route reflector or confederation
    configuration, any route that is learned from an
    IBGP neighbor will not be given to any other IBGP
    neighbor. Such routes are advertised only to EBGP
    neighbors.

69
  • It is essential that IBGP-learned routes are
    propagated to other BGP speakers. BGP operators
    can use three methods to address this problem
  • Use IBGP full mesh.
  • Design a route-reflector model.
  • Design a confederation model.

70
  • Problem in propagating an IBGP route to an
    IBGP/EBGP neighborA problem might arise in which
    an IBGP learned route is not propagated to any
    BGP neighbor, whether it is an IBGP or EBGP
    neighbor.
  • One case could be that when an IBGP-learned
    route is not synchronized, that route is not
    considered as a candidate to advertise to other
    BGP neighbors. A BGP route is synchronized only
    if it has been first learned through an IGP or
    static route.

71
  • In Cisco IOS Software, BGP advertises only what
    it considers the best path to its neighbors. If
    an IBGP path is not synchronized, it is not
    included in the best path calculation. The output
    of the show ip bgp command will show
    unsynchronized routes in the BGP table.
  • The solution would be to either turn off
    synchronization or make the routes synchronized
    by redistributing them in the IGP at the router
    that first introduced this route into the IBGP
    domain.

72
  • A common problem is with BGP routes not getting
    installed into the IP routing table. If a router
    must forward an IP packet by looking at the IP
    destination address of the IP packet, the router
    must have an IP routing table entry for the
    subnet of the IP destination address. If the BGP
    process fails to create an IP routing table
    entry, all traffic destined for missing IP
    subnets in the routing table will be dropped.
    This is generic behavior of hop-by-hop IP packet
    forwarding done by routers.

73
  • The most common causes of IBGP-learned routes not
    getting installed in the IP routing table are
  • IBGP routes are not synchronized.
  • The BGP next hop is not reachable.
  • The most common causes of EBGP-learned routes not
    getting installed in the IP routing table are
  • BGP routes are dampened.
  • The BGP next hop is not reachable in the case of
    multihop EBGP.
  • The multiexit discriminator (MED) value is
    infinite.

  • A common problem in BGP occurs when the next hop
    is not reachable. The cause of this problem,
    IBGP-learned route is not getting installed into
    the IP routing table, is most common in
    IBGP-learned routes where BGP next-hop address
    should have been learned through an IGP. Failure
    to reach the next hop is an IGP problem, and BGP
    is merely a victim. With BGP, when IP prefixes
    are advertised to an IBGP neighbor, the NEXT-HOP
    attribute of the prefix does not change. The IBGP
    receiver must have an IP route to reach this next
    hop.

75
  • The real power of BGP is in managing IP traffic
    flows coming in and going out of the AS. BGP in
    general and Cisco IOS Software in particular
    offer a great deal of flexibility in manipulating
    BGP attributes LOCAL_PREFERENCE, MED, and so
    forth to control BP best-path calculation. This
    best-path decision determines how traffic exits
    the AS. With the large size of BGP networks
    today, it is crucial that BGP operators
    understand how BGP attributes should be managed.

  • Some of the most common problems encountered in
    managing outbound traffic flow

77
  • Multiple exit points exist, but traffic goes out
    through one or a few exit routers.
  • Traffic takes a different interface from what is
    shown in the routing table.
  • A multiple BGP connection exists to the same BGP
    neighbor, but traffic goes out through only one
    connection.
  • Asymmetrical routing occurs and it causes a
    problem especially when NAT and time-sensitive
    applications are used.

78
  • Just as in managing outbound IP traffic from an
    AS, Cisco IOS Software offers BGP operators
    configuration options to manage inbound traffic
    in an AS. It is important that inbound traffic
    from other autonomous systems be managed as well.
    If this does not happen, capacity of the network
    will not be fully utilized. This causes
    congestion in one part of the network while other
    parts are underutilized. The end result of this
    mismanagement of inbound traffic flow is sluggish
    throughput, slow round-trip times, and delays in
    IP traffic. Therefore, it is essential that all
    inbound BGP policies are check and configured
    correctly.

79
  • Some of the most common problems in managing
    inbound IP traffic in an AS using BGP are
  • Multiple connections exist to an AS, but all the
    traffic comes in through one BGP neighbor, in the
    same AS.
  • A BGP neighbor in an AS should just be a backup
    provider, but some traffic from the Internet
    still comes through that AS.
  • Asymmetrical routing occurs.
  • Traffic to a certain subnet should come through a
    particular connection, but it is coming from
    somewhere else.
  • Each of these problems, both with outbound and
    inbound policy
