OSPF loopback problem

Sun Jul 07, 2013 11:10 pm

I'm deploying OSPF on my small network here, the problem is that whenever an interface goes down (AP reboot) OSPF and its routes also goes down, I made a loopback interface for OSPF but the problem is still happening.

Here is config exports from Tiks at two sites I'm testing it with, I'm temporarily using Broadcast but the same problem exists with NBMA.
I also tried without MD5 encryption.

Anyone know what's up?

You want the IP subnet on an interface stay in the routing table when the interface it belongs to goes down?

None of the IPs or networks leave the routing table, just OSPF routes.
As you seen in the config of Site 2, I'm using vlans on a bridge which bridges ports 1-4 because I may be using a ToughSwitch there soon.
Currently the backhaul is plugged into eth1 and the AP on eth2 and when I reboot the AP, OSPF drops even though the vlan and bridge are still running.

There is no difference when I use loopback vs no loopback.

I'm not sure what the exact topology is that you are referring to but in general, if an OSPF router cannot talk to its OSPF neighbour then yes it will end up removing routes that are dependent on that neighbour.

The lack of communication with that neighbour will also typically cause an election for DR and BDR on that segment in both broadcast and NBMA network types.

Try setting a static 'admin' MAC address on the bridge.

If the port that the bridge is adopting it's MAC address from leaves the bridge (or goes down), the bridge (and all VLANs on the bridge) will adopt a MAC from a different port, causing OSPF to reset.

This can be prevented by setting admin-mac='some MAC' and auto-mac=no

That was it! OSPF now stays up all the time.

Thanks so much.
