Folks,

I'm experimenting with using Zebra running on a Debian box to do OSPF with the Ciscos on our network. The zebra box has 2 interfaces, each in a different area. This is the first time we have tried to impliment multiple areas on our network. Right now, area 51 consists only of the zebra box and a Cisco 2500, and is just for testing.

The zebra box is forming a full adjacency with the Cisco in area 51 with no problems. It will not, however, become fully adjacent with the DR and BDR in area 0. This seems to be preventing the distrobution

I think this is normal behavior (without really analyzing things...). See if this helps any: http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/104/11.html

It is normal for it to be in 2-way adjacency with with all the routers in area 0 _except_ the DR and BDR. Indeed, my Zebra forms a 2-way adjacency with all the routers in area 0, except DR and BDR, but it never even makes it to 2-way adjacency with the DR and BDR, let alone the full adjacency needed for the Zebra box to receive and inject routes into the OSPF routing table. Thanks for the link. Good info, even though not the answer to this problem. Thanks, Josh jgentry@swcp.com
