OSPF-over-FR as Non-broadcast

According to documentation on OSPF-over-FR as Non-broadcast, one need to configure the 'neighbor statement' for OSPF to bring up the adjacent.

However in my GNS3 setup, I find that the adjacencies are formed even if I removed the neighbor statement

Diagram:

Config as follows:

R1

interface Serial0/0
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

It does shows at Non-broadcast network on all 3 but I clearly see the neighbor adjacent are up and the routing table shows O route (after clearing ospf process and routing table):

R1#show ip ospf interface

So why is it that even without the neighbor statement the adjacencies are still formed?

did you clear the ospf process after you removed the neighbor statements?

Forsaken_GA

actually, you had me curious as to whether or not this might be gns3 funkiness, so I mocked it up on my rack.

I had ospf adj debugging on, and as soon as I pulled the neighbor statements on the hub router, it immediately went through another election, and the adjacencies reformed.

After I cleared the ospf process on the hub router, however, they stayed down.

So I guess once the process knows how to talk to it's neighbors, it doesn't care if the neighbor statements are there or not

My console log is below, as you can see, I only pulled the neighbor statement for 10.0.0.3, it took down all adjacencies, and then reformed them

And I take that back..... I apparently didn't wait long enough. Even after clearing the process with both neighbor statements removed, the adjacencies did reform. Interesting.

The funny thing is that after bouncing the process, while the hub router is showing 2WAY, both spoke routers are still showing FULL

Wonder what happens if I bounce ospf on all three with the neighbor statements removed

tim100

The adjacency will remain in effect until the dead timer has expired. If you clear the OSPF process on one router the others still see the neighbor as alive. You would basically have to clear the OSPF processes on all the routers at the same time.

Forsaken_GA

That's actually what I just did. If I only cleared ospf on the hub router, the adjacencies all came back. I cleared ospf on all three routers and waited about 15 minutes, and none of the adjacencies have reformed

Sepiraph

Yes, you guys are right. I was talking to a CCIE coworker today and he guessed the same thing. And I do recall they said you have to clear *ALL* ospf processes and since I only cleared it at the hub, so it looks like the spoke routers still *remember* the config (I guess it is stored in the adjacency DB?).

This whole resetting all OSPF processes is a bit funky though, I am not at home to test it but I'd imagine you have to reset all of them simultaneously.
