Just double checked. If I put an address on a down interface it does go into the routing table as a directly connected, but inactive route (marked as unreachable, but still in the routing table), it doesn't go into the OSPF LSA. I don't see how it would hurt anything. A traceroute to that subnet egresses through the default gateway and other routers don't see a route to it. This is ROS 6.44.6 that I'm playing with. Maybe you've come across a bug in the version you have?
Disabling the interface removes it from the routing table, so I wonder if disabling unused interfaces would have prevented it. -Adam From: AF <af-boun...@af.afmug.com> On Behalf Of Nate Burke Sent: Tuesday, December 06, 2022 1:28 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group <af@af.afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OSPF Pulling my hair out - SOLVED I think I finally tracked this one down. An IP Address out of the /30 that was the OSPF Network was defined on another Router on an interface in the DOWN state. So the subnet/IP did not show up in the routing table, or the OSPF Routing table, or even that local routers routing table, but it must have caused some conflict in the OSPF Process. Disabling the address on the remote router fixed the route flapping. It was just causing Routes to change, the OSPF Neighbor never flapped. Found it purely by accident, not sure how I'd have tracked it down otherwise since there was no route to the subnet and looked like it did not exist since the interface it was assigned to was down.

The original /30 does not exist anywhere else on the network that I can find, either as a route, defined IP, or a Router ID. I didn't think of changing that since it seemed to be a weather event that triggered it in the first place, and it had been working fine for months.

I've even tried changing ports on the 4011, plugging the F425 into a completely separate OSPF router on the remote end. I've also put the traffic through a VLAN on the F425 to see if the F425 was doing something weird with the packets. The F425 radios on both ends have been power cycled.
