Extreme to Avaya, OSPF routes learned on Avaya but not EXOS

[Anonymous]

Hi,

Have a strange issue in that I have an Avaya and Extreme switch connected together, running ospf and a full adjacency.

Initial issue I had was ospf would get stuck on INIT on EXOS and Avaya was showing down. EXOS was configured as P2P and Avaya as NBMA. What I understand was EXOS was receiving an hello but the Avaya wasn't?

Ended up changing both ends to broadcast and immediately both ends went to full. Have configured EXOS to be DR and Avaya to BDR, although I have tried it either way around by configuring the priority but made no difference.

Issue I have is that the Avaya is learning all the routes from EXOS but EXOS isn't learning anything from Avaya?

I can't workout why it would be in one direction like this, and the link-types are the same on both sides.

EXOS is running version 22.6.1.4 (X590)
Avaya is running version 7.2.24.0 (ERS-8006)

Configs bellow:

EXOS:

code:

configure ospf routerid 10.1.243.201
enable ospf
enable ospf export static cost 2 type ase-type-1
configure ospf add vlan AggCore1-To-AggCore2 area 0.0.0.0 link-type point-to-point
configure ospf vlan AggCore1-To-AggCore2 bfd on
configure ospf add vlan Avaya-AggCore-P2P area 0.0.0.0
configure ospf vlan Avaya-AggCore-P2P priority 21
configure ospf vlan Avaya-AggCore-P2P bfd on
configure ospf add vlan Mgmt-Bunhill-AggCore1 area 0.0.0.0 passive
configure ospf vlan Mgmt-Bunhill-AggCore1 priority 0
configure ospf add vlan Nexus-AggCore-P2P area 0.0.0.0 link-type point-to-point

code:

Bunhill-AggCore1.100 # show ospf neighbor detail
 Neighbor 10.1.243.202, interface address 10.1.243.202

code:

Avaya Configuration is as follows, have enabled and disable mtu-ignore but made no difference:

code:

mlt 20 add ports 2/41
mlt 20 mcast-distribution enable 
mlt 20 name "Avaya-AggCore-P2P" 
mlt 20 perform-tagging enable 

vlan 3220 create byport 1 name "Avaya-AggCore-P2P"
vlan 3220 add-mlt 20

ip ospf interface 10.1.243.222 area 0.0.0.0
ip ospf interface 10.1.243.222 mtu-ignore enable
ip ospf interface 10.1.243.222 bfd enable

ip ospf redistribute static create 
ip ospf redistribute static metric 2 
ip ospf redistribute static enable 
ip ospf redistribute static apply 

As you can see below routes are being learnt on the Avaya;
