Cisco/Nortel OSPF

[rmmagow]

I am bringing up OSPF between a Nortel Router and a Cisco 3745 running IOS 12.2 (I think, I'm the Nortel guy). Anyway, I 've got full adjacency but I don't see any routes in the Cisco box. I had to add a static route to the Cisco machine for it to connect. The LSDB on the Cisco router seems to have everything. What am I missing here?
Thanks.

If I remember right the delay and hold timers are different between Nortel and Cisco. Try this on your Cisco router.

Is ther Nortel announcing any routes to begin with?

Do this command to see if OSPF is receiving the routes on the cisco.

show ip ospf database

You should see the LinkID's for the different OSPF type announcements. If you don't see any type 5 announcements, then you aren't getting any routes. If you do, then maybe you are doing something to block the routes from being inserted into the routing table by using a distribute list or route-map.
