Found on the OSPF interface of Mikrotik the 'Network Type: broadcast' and so changed to 'point to point' the OSPF started on both sides :) ----------- root@ir0rm-7:/home/i0ojj# tcpdump -i ppp1 -vv tcpdump: listening on ppp1, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 96 bytes 13:57:30.411527 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 44090, offset 0, flags [none], proto OSPF (89), length 80) 10.58.2.3 > ospf-all.mcast.net: OSPFv2, LS-Update, length 60 Router-ID i0ojj.ampr.org, Area 0.0.0.254, Authentication Type: none (0), 1 LSA LSA #1 Advertising Router 10.26.243.2, seq 0x800001c1, age 3s, length 12 Network LSA (2), LSA-ID: 10.26.241.93 Options: [External] Mask 255.255.255.252 Connected Routers: 10.26.243.2 [|ospf2] 13:57:31.530529 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 44092, offset 0, flags [none], proto OSPF (89), length 96) 10.58.2.3 > ospf-all.mcast.net: OSPFv2, LS-Update, length 76 Router-ID i0ojj.ampr.org, Area 0.0.0.254, Authentication Type: none (0), 1 LSA LSA #1 Advertising Router 10.26.243.17, seq 0x8000d907, age 4s, length 28 Router LSA (1), LSA-ID: 10.26.243.17 Options: [External] Router LSA Options: [ASBR] [|ospf2] 13:57:32.531673 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 6842, offset 0, flags [none], proto OSPF (89), length 84) i0ojj.cisarnet.ampr.org > 10.58.2.3: OSPFv2, LS-Ack, length 64 Router-ID 10.58.2.10, Area 0.0.0.254, Authentication Type: none (0) Advertising Router 10.26.243.2, seq 0x800001c1, age 3s, length 12 Network LSA (2), LSA-ID: 10.26.241.93 Options: [External] 13:57:34.533933 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 13398, offset 0, flags [none], proto OSPF (89), length 68) i0ojj.cisarnet.ampr.org > ospf-all.mcast.net: OSPFv2, Hello, length 48 Router-ID 10.58.2.10, Area 0.0.0.254, Authentication Type: none (0) Options [External] Hello Timer 10s, Dead Timer 40s, Mask 0.0.0.0, Priority 1 Neighbor List: i0ojj.ampr.org 13:57:37.952527 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 44095, offset 0, flags [none], proto OSPF (89), length 68) 10.58.2.3 > ospf-all.mcast.net: OSPFv2, Hello, length 48 Router-ID i0ojj.ampr.org, Area 0.0.0.254, Authentication Type: none (0) Options [External] Hello Timer 10s, Dead Timer 40s, Mask 255.255.255.255, Priority 1 Neighbor List: 10.58.2.10 13:57:43.959050 IP (tos 0xc0, ttl 1, id 13399, offset 0, flags [none], proto OSPF (89), length 68) i0ojj.cisarnet.ampr.org > ospf-all.mcast.net: OSPFv2, Hello, length 48 Router-ID 10.58.2.10, Area 0.0.0.254, Authentication Type: none (0) Options [External] Hello Timer 10s, Dead Timer 40s, Mask 0.0.0.0, Priority 1 Neighbor List: i0ojj.ampr.org ^C 6 packets captured 6 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel root@ir0rm-7:/home/i0ojj# --------------- The addresses situation as reported by Mikrotik is the following: gus
