Backbone router shows one of its neigbors state as “init”
On the other router, there is nothing on the neighbor list.
What could be the cause to this ?
Is this two mikrotik routers? What is your network/ospf setup? Is this over wireless? NBMA neighbor??
These are 2 mikrotik routers.
Backbone router is running v4.5 and the other router is on 3.30 Routing test package.
They are connected by a switch(dump), and on the same switch there is another MT Router and its working just fine.

anyone ?
Check if there are any firewall rules in input or output chains that may block ospf.
Make sure that ospf connections are not nated.
Enable debug logs and check if neighbors are receiving ospf hello packets.
16:11:53 route,ospf,debug Received packet from an unknown network:
16:11:53 route,ospf,debug source=x.x.x.x
On the router where no neigbors are listed, I have the following line which may be interesting in the debug logs.
source x.x.x.x is an public IP address on the network where we NAT that routers Private IP range.
On the main backbone router, I have put rules already to not to NAT OSPF protocol.
