OSPF Problems with MT / Cisco on RB500

pbwalsh · April 8, 2006, 8:23pm

We are currently seeing an issue where the RB500’s with 2.9.19 lose OSPF connectivity to Cisco routers. The RB 230’s do not have this issue on the same software.
OSPF connectivity to other MT routers is good. Only Cisco to MT is affected.
Cannot create a supout.rif as this process will reboot the RB530 and not create the file.
We have downgraded the firmware again to 2.9.12 to resolve this on the 530’s only.

Has anyone else seen this with the 532?

Yes, we are seeing the same thing. Have tried both 2.9.23 and 2.9.17. Both fail after time - usually a day or two. Our experience is that the interfaces seem to flap. I have been able to create a supout.rif when this is happening. I’ll forward it to support.

I guess we will try downgrading to 2.9.12 and see if that fixes our stability problem.

We have even seen it from MT-MT but only once.
Latest rev does the same thing.
2.9.12 has been stable on the 532.
We have 2.9.22 on the 230’s with no issues.

Did you try with routing-test package ?

I am sorry but, we have not.
What would I expect to see differently?

Just upgrade to the latest version v2.9.23, from what I use.. ospf is stable in this release

What Cisco Router are you connecting to from your MT? How long has your link been stable?
We typically see the link fail within 10 hours of reboot.
Thank you for any information.

Using v2.9.23 with Cisco 12000 to my upstream provider… and no reboot… with routing test package

Thanks

Is that with the RB500 series or PC based?
The 230’s did not have the same issue and I dont know if the PC based solution did either.
I upgraded one of my 532’s last night and so far so good. I will continue to monitor and if it works, I will post to let you know.
Thank You!

We have been running the 2.9.24 code and so far have not seen any more issues with the OSPF and the Cisco 7206.
It looks like the problem with the 532 and Cisco is fixed.
Thank You!

Are you successfully using authentication on your OSPF links, or is your authentication set to ‘none’?

Do you have time set on this RB500? I had some problem with OSPF Mikrotik to quagga and time difference was the reason.
