RE: External LSAs keeping ISDN line up!!!

For redistribution, assuming IGRP (or other DV protocol) into OSPF, there
are two things (among others) to watch for ... I discovered these as I
worked on CCBootCamp Lab 5 ...

1) make sure only those interfaces that are needed for a routing procol are
active ... i.e. use the "passive-interface" command liberally throughout
your lab with all routing protocols ... you cannot go wrong with it,
especially on ASBR's
2) ensure that those routes being redistributed into OSPF are the only ones
required using whatever method you see fit ... for Lab 5 I used a route-map
to filter all but the IGRP routes from being redistributed into OSPF ...
that in conjunction with the passive interface command made the "ip ospf
demand-circuit" command work as specified

the best way to check if there is inaccurate redistribution is to check the
OSPF database for Type-5 LSA's where they should not be, like for directly
attached OSPF areas ... then you'll know that something is afoot

I've never understood the reasoning behind a dialer-list that has "deny ospf
any any", as I thought the whole reason for an OSPF demand-circuit was that
OSPF could bring up the link if a routing decision deemed it necessary ...
please correct me if I'm wrong ...

Corey,

1) Have you done a debug to see what is keeping the
Bri line up? (sometimes its not what you think is).

2) Looking in the OSPF database (timers) should point
out which route is being relearned so you can block
it.

3) Get the ISDN line up and let OSPF exchange hellos
then issue the OSPF demand-circuit command. You should
not have to block OSPF is the dialer-list (only
complicates matters worse).

4) Also, these commands will help keep a Bri line
quiet.
  no cdp enable
  ip opsf-demand circuit
  no peer neighbor-route

You can look through the archives for more info on
this topic.
