Brother Nouman,
How are you ? I think you need to complete all your special lab by
Groupstudy .
If you read TCP/IP Volume 1/2 by Jeff Doyle all your questions will be
solved .
anyway ,
If there is mtu mismatch ospf list shows Exstart/Exchange(Database
Exchange), on both side mtu must be same otherwise neighbor relationship
will not form.MTU field is in Database description format .
If you are using 3560 just check with "system mtu XXX" command .
