OSPF Troubleshooting quesitons..

[yuvi]

The problem right now is that our outbound traffic is only using one of our many MPLS pipes. And i reckon this is because there is only one advertising router for those networks.

1. We have multiple ISP routers redistributing routes (they say they do) into our OSPF network. But on our internal routers i only see one entry in the LSDB. Is this normal ..or is our ISP lying

2. The VLANs added to EAPS are also the ones with interfaces on OSPF.. so would EAPS be preventing OSPF LSAs ?

It was nice speaking with you Yuvi.

core router 1 ---> edge router 1 ---> ISP router 1 (MPLS)
core router 1 ---> edge router 2 ---> ISP router 2 (MPLS)

So our network has two ISP routers connected at each site, yet we only see one entry for each advertised route in the lsdb.

will send you an email with details of issue and network diagram.

what is your scenario?
Single home? (one router connected to another single ISP's router)(BGP not recommended)
Dual Home? (One or Multiple router connected to sing ISP routes)((BGP not recommended))
Multihoming? (Connected to two or more ISP?)
Dual Multihomming (Similar to Multihoming but with redundant link)
