Questions: OSPF Adjacency Stuck in ExStart/Exchange State¶
- What OSPF state is the adjacency currently in, and how long has it been there?
- What are the OSPF interface parameters on both sides (hello/dead timers, area, network type)?
- What are the MTU values configured on each router's interface facing the other?
- Is
ip ospf mtu-ignoreconfigured on either interface? - Are there any OSPF authentication mismatches?
- What does the OSPF debug log show during the DBD (Database Description) exchange?
- Were there any recent changes to either router (firmware upgrade, config change)?
- Are OSPF hello packets being sent and received on both sides?
- What is the router-id and priority for each neighbor?
- Can large packets (close to interface MTU) traverse the link successfully?
