Howdy!

I am installing an Extreme Networks BD8810 and two Summit300-48 at the first of several branch offices, and would like to use OSPF to handle the routing.

my configs, in brief, are as follows:
MDF (Black Diamond)

con default del ports all
cre vlan dat
cre vlan mgmnt
cre vlan wan

con dat ipad 10.0.0.1/23
con mgmnt ipad 192.168.0.1/24
con wan ipad 192.168.1.2/24

con mgmnt tag 192
con mgmnt add port 5:2-3 t #(1Gb connects to each IDF)
con wan add port 5:1 u #(1Gb connect to the CO)
enable ipf
cre ospf area 0.0.0.1
con ospf area 0.0.0.1 stub nosummary stub-default-cost 10

config ospf add vlan dat area 0.0.0.1 link-type broadcast passive
enable ospf

**************************************
IDF (1 and 2 have different subnets, but otherwise the same)

con default del ports all
cre vlan dat
cre vlan mgmnt

con dat ipad 10.0.2.1/23
con mgmnt ipadd 192.168.0.1/24

con mgmnt tag 192
con mgmnt add port 1:52 t

enable ipf

cre ospf area 0.0.0.1
con ospf add vlan dat area 0.0.0.1 link-type broadcast passive
enable ospf
************************************

OSPF shows to be up and running, I can ping the mgmnt interface on any of the boxes from any other, but i cannot ping from a device connect to dat on any switch to dat on any other. My OSPF link-state database doesn't show any imported routes, and a show iproute also only shows the interfaces on that switch.

My question is, what do i need to change to get the interfaces to broadcast their LSAs to one another? Or am i just way off track?

The Black Diamond is running a 10.5x image, and the 300-48s are running a 7.4e.x image.

Thanks a lot ( an incredibly huge amounts of "a lot") to any and all who can help!

I think you just need to enable ipforwarding and add the vlans to the OSPF area

for example
configure ospf add vlan "DAT" area 0.0.0.0

This would be similiar to using the network cmd on a cisco router.

good luck

 
Thanks for your timely response. However, i've enabled ipforwading before configuring ospf, and i have added the necessary vlans to the OSPF area. Still, the routing isn't working. The switches are not exchanging LSDBs and aren't electing a Designated Router or BDR either.

It seems to me that I am doing everything as laid out in the documentation i've found at Extreme.... so i'm obviously missing something. I'm probably gonna really kick myself when i nail this issue.

thanks again for your response.
 
Can you post the resaults for the following cmds
show ospf neighbor
show ospf area
