In my Multiarea-OSPF configuration I can ping my neighbor, but nobody which is more than one hop away (for instance ABR2). Also traceroute just shows "1 * * * - 2 * * * - 3 * * *"

Can anybody think of possible mistakes in the OSPF configuration?

enter image description here

  • Why did you delete the configuration? – user36472 Feb 19 '18 at 9:54
  • because it's hard to see what someone's got wrong just by looking at one configuration and not knowing the network-topology/ip-scheme. Or should I put the config back again in the question? – watchme Feb 19 '18 at 9:57
  • Even better, put the configuration back and add a simpel topology drawing. :-) – user36472 Feb 19 '18 at 9:59
  • @Cown done :-) . – watchme Feb 19 '18 at 10:09

    Network command in ospf uses wildcard bits. Use 0.0.0.3 instead of 255.255.255.252 etc. Or simply use ip ospf 1 area 0 though I'm not sure this is supported in PT's image. – ar_ Feb 19 '18 at 10:27

As @ar_ pointed out in the comments of my question: The problem was, that I configured the network command in a wrong way. So I used subnetmasks instead of wildcard masks. (network-commands in OSPF need wildcard masks).

@RonMaupin added the information in the comments of this answer, that in the newest IOS-version both ways (subnetmask and wildcardmasks) work.

    Although, the very latest IOS versions seem to correct that for you. – Ron Maupin♦ Feb 21 '18 at 16:48
  • @RonMaupin Do you mean it can handle both, subnet- and wildcardmask? – watchme Feb 21 '18 at 16:52
  • Yes, but you probably should use one or the other, otherwise it could be very confusing when looking at it. I suppose it looks to see where the consecutive bit are (at the beginning or end) to determine how to interpret it. – Ron Maupin♦ Feb 21 '18 at 16:55
  • I'm not sure at which version this was added. – Ron Maupin♦ Feb 21 '18 at 16:55
  • @RonMaupin How can it distuingish when the subnetmask is 0.0.0.0 for instance? – watchme Feb 21 '18 at 17:03
