Re: Lost OSPF neighbor statement during reload. Need a help

Hi,

In the following configs, there are chances that after reloading of routers,
172,16.101.1 may not become router-id. For ex. some other higher loopback
interface ip address can become router id. To avoid this, need to configure
router-id under OSPF processes.

router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 area 12 virtual-link 172.16.101.1

Thanks,
Srinivas
