Down
This is the first OSPF neighbor state. It means that no information (hellos) has been received from this neighbor, but hello packets can still be sent
to the neighbor in this state.
During the fully adjacent neighbor state, if a router doesn't receive hello packet from a neighbor within the RouterDeadInterval time
(RouterDeadInterval = 4*HelloInterval by default) or if the manually configured neighbor is being removed from the configuration, then the
neighbor state changes from Full to Down.
Attempt
This state is only valid for manually configured neighbors in an NBMA (NON-BROADCAST MULTI-ACCESS) environment. In Attempt state, the router
sends unicast hello packets every poll interval to the neighbor, from which hellos have not been received within the dead interval.
Init
This state specifies that the router has received a hello packet from its neighbor, but the receiving router's ID was not included in the hello packet.
When a router receives a hello packet from a neighbor, it should list the sender's router ID in its hello packet as an acknowledgment that it received
a valid hello packet.
2-Way
This state designates that bi-directional communication has been established between two routers. Bi-directional means that each router has seen
the other's hello packet. This state is attained when the router receiving the hello packet sees its own Router ID within the received hello packet's
neighbor field. At this state, a router decides whether to become adjacent with this neighbor. On broadcast media and non-broadcast multiaccess
networks, a router becomes full only with the designated router (DR) and the backup designated router (BDR); it stays in the 2-way state with all
other neighbors. On Point-to-point and Point-to-multipoint networks, a router becomes full with all connected routers.
At the end of this stage, the DR and BDR for broadcast and non-broadcast multiacess networks are elected. For more information on the DR
election process, refer to DR Election.
Note: Receiving a Database Descriptor (DBD) packet from a neighbor in the init state will also a cause a transition to 2-way state.
Exstart

P a g e | 8
Once the DR and BDR are elected, the actual process of exchanging link state information can start between the routers and their DR and BDR.
In this state, the routers and their DR and BDR establish a master-slave relationship and choose the initial sequence number for adjacency
formation. The router with the higher router ID becomes the master and starts the exchange, and as such, is the only router that can increment the
sequence number. Note that one would logically conclude that the DR/BDR with the highest router ID will become the master during this process
of master-slave relation. Remember that the DR/BDR election might be purely by virtue of a higher priority configured on the router instead of
highest router ID. Thus, it is possible that a DR plays the role of slave. And also note that master/slave election is on a per-neighbor basis.
Exchange
In the exchange state, OSPF routers exchange database descriptor (DBD) packets. Database descriptors contain link-state advertisement (LSA)
headers only and describe the contents of the entire link-state database. Each DBD packet has a sequence number which can be incremented only
by master which is explicitly acknowledged by slave. Routers also send link-state request packets and link-state update packets (which contain the
entire LSA) in this state. The contents of the DBD received are compared to the information contained in the routers link-state database to check if
new or more current link-state information is available with the neighbor.
Loading
In this state, the actual exchange of link state information occurs. Based on the information provided by the DBDs, routers send link-state request
packets. The neighbor then provides the requested link-state information in link-state update packets. During the adjacency, if a router receives an
outdated or missing LSA, it requests that LSA by sending a link-state request packet. All link-state update packets are acknowledged.
Full
In this state, routers are fully adjacent with each other. All the router and network LSAs are exchanged and the routers' databases are fully
synchronized.
Full is the normal state for an OSPF router. If a router is stuck in another state, it's an indication that there are problems in forming adjacencies. The
only exception to this is the 2-way state, which is normal in a broadcast network. Routers achieve the full state with their DR and BDR only.
Neighbors always see each other as 2-way.
Neighbors Stuck in Exstart/Exchange State
The problem occurs most frequently when attempting to run OSPF between a Cisco router and another vendor's router. The problem occurs when
the maximum transmission unit (MTU) settings for neighboring router interfaces don't match. If the router with the higher MTU sends a packet

P a g e | 9
larger that the MTU set on the neighboring router, the neighboring router ignores the packet.0 When this problem occurs, the output of the show

Background Information
In order to configure and troubleshoot OSPF over a network, you must have a good understanding of the underlying network topology. The
neighbor discovery mechanism, election of Designated Router (DR) and Backup Designated Router (BDR), and update flooding depend on it. The
underlying Layer 2 topology can be one of these:
 Broadcast multi-access (for example, Ethernet)—A Broadcast network is one which allows broadcast or multicast packets to be sent over
the network and hence every device able to communicate directly with every other device in the segment. A multi-access network is a
network that connects more than two devices. Refer to Initial Configurations for OSPF Over Broadcast Media for more information.
 Point-to-Point (such as serial links with Point-to-Point and High-Level Data Link Control (PPP/HDLC))—point-to-point networks also allow
broadcast or multicast packets to be sent over the network, and these networks connect only two devices on the segment. Refer to Initial
Configurations for OSPF over a Point-to-Point Link for more information.
 Non-Broadcast multi-access (NBMA), such as Frame Relay—These networks do not support broadcasts or multicasts, but can connect more
than devices and are multi-access in nature. Refer to Initial Configurations for OSPF over Non-Broadcast Links for more information.
 Point-to-Multipoint—This is a collection of point-to-point links between various devices on a segment. These networks also allow broadcast
or multicast packets to be sent over the network. These networks can represent the multi-access segment as multiple point-to-point links
that connect all the devices on the segment.
When OSPF is run on a network, two important events happen before routing information is exchanged:
 Neighbors are discovered using multicast hello packets.
 DR and BDR are elected for every multi-access network to optimize the adjacency building process. All the routers in that segment should
be able to communicate directly with the DR and BDR for proper adjacency (in the case of a point-to-point network, DR and BDR are not
necessary since there are only two routers in the segment, and hence the election does not take place).
For a successful neighbor discovery on a segment, the network must allow broadcasts or multicast packets to be sent.
In the broadcast multi-access Layer 2 topology, broadcasts are supported; therefore, a router that runs OSPF can discover OSPF neighbors
automatically and elect any router as DR and BDR since any device can talk to all other routers in that broadcast segment.
In a point-to-point topology, neighbors are discovered automatically since neighbors are directly connected to each other through a point-to-point
link, and broadcast or multicast packets are forwarded over the network; however, the DR and BDR election does not take place as explained
earlier.

P a g e | 11
In an NBMA network topology, which is inherently nonbroadcast, neighbors are not discovered automatically. OSPF tries to elect a DR and a BDR
due to the multi-access nature of the network, but the election fails since neighbors are not discovered. Neighbors must be configured manually to
overcome these problems. Also, additional configuration is necessary in a hub and spoke topology to make sure that the hub routers, which have
connectivity with every other spoke router, are elected as the DR and BDR. Alternatively, you can change the configuration on the NBMA interface
to make OSPF believe that it is another network type that does not have these problems.
The correct configuration is necessary for the proper operation of OSPF.
Frame Relay subinterfaces can run in two modes:
 Point-to-Point—When a Frame Relay point-to-point subinterface is configured, the subinterface emulates a point-to-point network and
OSPF treats it as a point-to-point network type.
 Multipoint—When a Frame Relay multipoint subinterface is configured, OSPF treats this subinterface as an NBMA network type.
Cisco IOS software uses the ip ospf network command to allow the flexibility run OSPF on an interface in different modes:
ip ospf network {broadcast | non-broadcast | {point-to-multipoint [non-broadcast] | point-to-point}}
The Configure section of this document contains sample configurations for OSPF over Frame Relay point-to-point subinterfaces, OSPF over Frame
Relay multipoint subinterfaces with broadcast, non-broadcast, and point-to-multipoint networks.

Multipoint Configuration with Broadcast Network
In this configuration, the network type is changed to broadcast with the ip ospf network broadcast command. Now, the NBMA network is viewed
as a broadcast multi-access network where DR and BDR election takes place. The frame relay map commands are also set to forward broadcast
addresses.

In this configuration, the network is non-broadcast, which does not allow neighbors to be discovered automatically. The neighbor command is used
to manually configure OSPF neighbors. However, this command is necessary only with Cisco IOS software versions earlier than 10.0. As an alternate
solution, issue the ip ospf network command to change the default network type (see the Multipoint Configuration with Broadcast Network
configuration example). Refer to the "Avoiding DRs and neighbor Command on NBMA" section of OSPF Design Guide for more information. DR and
BDR are elected due to the multi-access nature.

Verify
In order to verify your configurations, use the subsections provided in the Configure section of this document.
Troubleshoot
This section provides information you can use to troubleshoot your configuration.
Before you troubleshoot any OSPF neighbor-related issues on an NBMA network, it is important to remember that an NBMA network can be
configured in these modes of operation with the ip ospf network command:
 Point-to-Point
 Point-to-Multipoint
 Broadcast
 NBMA
The Hello and Dead Intervals of each mode are described in this table:
Network Type Hello Interval (secs) Dead Interval (secs)
Point-to-Point 10 40

P a g e | 26
Point-to-Multipoint 30 120
Broadcast 10 40
Non-Broadcast 30 120
When OSPF is configured on a physical interface (for example, interface S0) of a non broadcast multi-access technology such as Frame Relay, the
default network type of NON_BROADCAST is assigned. When OSPF is configured on point-to-point subinterfaces, the default interface type of
POINT_TO_POINT is assigned. When OSPF is configured on multipoint subinterfaces, the default interface type of NON_BROADCAST is assigned.
When the NBMA network is made up of a combination of physical and logical interfaces (subinterfaces) on different routers, different OSPF
network types come into play. Hello mismatches are likely to occur in such cases; as a result, OSPF adjacencies are not formed.
Refer to Problems with Running OSPF in NBMA Mode over Frame Relay and Troubleshooting OSPF for more information on how to troubleshoot
OSPF.

Understanding OSPF Neighbor Relationship
An OSPF router goes through several states before the neighbor is considered fully adjacent.
But, before going to the adjacent process, let’s understand some important terms in OSPF:
Router-ID:
 Router-ID simply means the name of this router in the OSPF domain.
 Before an OSPF router can send any OSPF messages, it must choose a unique 32-bit identifier called the router identifier.
 Cisco routers choose the following sequence to choose their Router-ID.
1. If you configure Router-ID manually, it will be the Router-ID
2. If the router-ID is not configured manually and the loopback interface exists, highest active Loopback address will be the Router-ID
3. If Loopback interface doesn’t exists, then the highest active physical interface address.
Some important points to be noted about Router ID:
 The Cisco OSPF will continue to use a RID learned from a physical interface even if the interface subsequently fails or deleted.
 The RID does not have to reachable
 The interface from which the RID is taken does not have to be matched by an OSPF network command
 Routers consider changing the OSPF RID when the OSPF process is restarted or when the RID changed via the configuration.
 If a RID changes, the rest of the routers in the same area need to perform a new SPF calculation.
 If the RID is configured via Router-id command and the command remains unchanged, RID will never change for that router.
Hello Protocol:
The Hello protocol performs many functions:
 Discover OSPF speaking neighbors
 It advertises several parameters on which two routers must agree before they can become neighbors
 Hello packets act as keepalives between the neighbors
 OSPF speaking routers periodically send a Hello packet out each OSPF enabled interface. This period is called HelloInterval.
 In Cisco networks,
o Hello messages sent once every 10Sec on Broadcast / P2P networks
o Hello messages sent once every 30Sec on NBMA networks
Contents of Hello Packet:
 Router-ID
 Area ID *
 Subnet Mask *
 Hello Timer *
 Dead Timer *
 DR/BDR
 Neighbors List

P a g e | 31
 Priority
 Authentication if any *
 Stub flag
* Mandatory fields to be matched. If any of these parameters don’t match, the two routers don’t form a neighbor relationship.
DR / BDR:
 In OSPF, each shared segment will have a DR and BDR, mainly to prevent the unnecessary flooding of the LSAs.
 Without, DR/BDR, in any shared network, we should have n(n-1)/2 adjacencies.
 Each router in a shared segment forms full adjacency with only DR and BDR.
 There is no preemption in the DR/BDR elections.
 DR/BDR elections are influenced by Priority and Router-ID.
o Each OSPF interface has a priority value of 0-255.
o In Cisco networks, default priority value is 1.
o Routers with a priority of 0 are ineligible to become DR/BDR.
Election process for DR/BDR: (from Jeff Doyle TCP/IP Volume I)
 After 2-way communication has been established with one or more neighbors, examine the priority, DR/BDR fields in a neighbor’s
Hello packet.
 List all the routers which are eligible for election, all routers declaring themselves to be the DR and all routers declaring themselves to
be the BDR.
 From this list of eligible routers make a subset of the routers, not claiming to be the DR (routers declaring themselves to be the DR
cannot be elected BDR)
 If one more neighbors in this subset include its own interface address in the BDR field, the neighbor with the highest priority becomes
the BDR, in case of tie, highest Router ID will be chosen.
 If no router in the subset claims to be the BDR, the neighbor with the highest priority becomes the BDR, in case of tie, highest Router
ID will be chosen.
 If one more of the eligible routers include their own address in the DR field, the neighbor with the highest priority becomes the DR, in
case of tie, highest Router ID will be chosen.
 If no router is claiming to be a DR, the newly elected BDR gets promoted to the DR.
 When OSPF is discovering the neighbors, if a DR and BDR exist, the router accepts them. If there is no DR and BDR, then
only elections will happen.
Different states in OSPF neighbor adjacency process:
 Down State
 Attempt
 Init
 2-way
 Exstart
 Exchange
 Loading
 Full
Down:

P a g e | 32
This is the first OSPF neighbor state. It means that no Hello has been received from the neighbor.
Attempt:
This state is only valid for manually configured neighbors in an NBMA environment.
Init:
This state indicates that the router has received a hello packet from its neighbor, but the receiving router’s ID was not found in the Hello
packet
2-Way:
This state indicates that the bi-directional communication has been established between the 2 neighbors.
Am I listed as your neighbor in your Hello packet?
Yes: reset the dead timer, and the Hello processing ends at this step.
No: Add as new neighbor
DR/BDR election occurs at the end of this stage.
In broadcast networks, DROTHERS will be always at 2-way state.
