Hi all,
I have strange stuff going on in my network. Yesterday, i bounced an interface (shut/no shut) to reset an OSPF neighborship.
However, when the neighbor was down, it seemed OSPF didn't update its database. The routes were still in the OSPF database. I don't understand:
The routes concerned are external redistributed routes:
show ip ospf database
               Type-5 AS External Link States
Link ID         ADV Router      Age         Seq#       Checksum Tag
10.50.0.0       19.16.139.113 1421        0x800001EE 0x00E290 401    <<<------------ look at these routes
10.50.0.0       19.16.139.114 1040        0x8000004D 0x001B2D 400
10.50.32.0      19.16.139.113 1421        0x800001EE 0x0081D1 401   <<<------------ look at thse routes
10.50.32.0      19.16.139.114 1040        0x8000004D 0x00B96E 400
sh ip ospf neighbor
19.16.139.113   1   FULL/BDR        00:00:19    10.63.14.1      Vlan997
Then i disable the interface:
%OSPF-5-ADJCHG: Process 1, Nbr 19.16.139.113 on Vlan997 from FULL to DOWN, Neighbor Down: Dead timer expired
sh ip ospf database
10.50.0.0       19.16.139.113 1725        0x800001EE 0x00E290 401    <<<-- STILL HERE ???
10.50.0.0       19.16.139.114 1344        0x8000004D 0x001B2D 400
10.50.32.0      19.16.139.113 1725        0x800001EE 0x0081D1 401   <<<-- STILL HERE ???
10.50.32.0      19.16.139.114 1344        0x8000004D 0x00B96E 400
ping 19.16.139.113
.....   <<-- he is down for sure
Why doesn't the database get updated ? I need the route to be removed and re-inserted/refreshed with an up-to-date tag.
regards,
Geert
