ospf and bridge-groups??

Please provide the configs.

This should work as R2 is a transparent bridge. It should be flooding all multicast traffic.

OSPF adjacencies are built using multicasts with a TTL of 1 so they only talk to the routers right next to them. I think if you tunnel to the other 1 it will work. If you add this configuration it might fix your problem

bkepford,

R2 isn't really a router. It's a bridge.

Below you will find the configs for the three Routers.

To give you all more info, R1 and R3 are also connected via T1 lines that do redistribute the OSPF networks. The bridge that we are trying to create is to setup a transparent bridge DSL line as a backup link for R1 and R3. However when turning off the T1 lines, the OSPF routes are not redistributed across this backup link. I have traced my issue down to the bridge-group in R2. It currently passes traffic, and if i turn off the T1link in R1 and manually input a static defualt route then it will pass traffic with no problem....However that really defeats one of my current purposes for using OSPF, if i loose the T1 i don't want to have to manually do this everytime, OSPF should just update the new routes over the R2 brdige until i can get onsite to repair the original T1 links

I have been working on this all day, and google has not uncovered much for me.......looking into "source route bridging" as a possible solution.....

Quick and dirty solution would be to create a floating static route. Just set the AD to 130. The router will not use the static route unless the OSPF path over the T1 is lost.

OSPF problem over the bridge may have something to do with the translational bridging going on in R2.

SRB is used in token ring. I don't think I've ever heard of SRB in an Ethernet environment.

thanks don just saw that.

we have tried the dirty solution already, and while it works...well its dirty, and my ultimate goal with this project is to get a perminent clean solution in place.

I'm pretty sure your problem is the translation between ethernet and ATM.

Have you tried manually defining the neighbor?

R1
router ospf 1
 neighbor 10.15.15.177
 
R3
router ospf 1
 neighbor 10.15.15.179

Select allOpen in new window

tried your config don, get a respones back as:
OSPF: Neighbor commonad is allowed only on NBMA and point-to-multipoint networks.
And they will not accept the neighbor command.

The idea was great though!

When I see bridging done with ATM they use

bridge 6 protocol dec

not

bridge 6 protocol ieee

now looking at going down the road of the bitswap-layer3-addresses or circuit-group commands....any thoughts

but will protocol dec work with the thernet interface?

Well actually I've seen it both ways.

In the below example off of Cisco's site they use it to bridge a fiber, Token ring and Ethernet connection.

Here's the link

PS notice that the bridge irb command is not used.

or the

 bridge 6 route ip

after doing some digging i can not remove the bridge irb or even change it do to another bridge group currently in use by a large number of DSL customers, i have however remove the BVI6 as it was also missing in the examples you provided as well as the route ip command. going to do a little more testing then make the switch and see if it will now update the routes, will be a few before i am back.

This is true both sides need to have matching hello/dead timers. If they do not match no peering will take place.

If you do a show ip ospf interfaces on both routers you can compare them. Changing the network type chanes the timers and if one side is ethernet and the other ATM the ATM will not require a DR while the ehternet side will. You need to make sure both require the same thing.

Good Morning Don,

Didn't get a chance until this morning to try the IP ospf command. After working through it and cleaning up everything i did yesterday the backup link is now working correctly.

The one catch i found is i did have to put the "ip ospf network non-broadcast" in both R1 and R2 with the neighbor commands. Once done everything came right up and started working.

Thank You for all your help on this, and thank you to the other guys that have posted as well.

Please read the entire post for the solution and see the router configs.

Thanks for everybody's help!!
