Re: I am getting a K-value mismatch & retry limit exceeded

On the routers I left the MTU at default,m 1500. On the switches (3550/3560)
I set the system MTU to 1500 (system MTU 1500 or system MTU routing 1500.
Where allowed on the interface I set ip mtu 1500).

Debugs don't show me anything. I was looking to shut the messages off with a
command similar to ip ospf mtu-ignore but I don't see one under the
interface.

I can try and set the metric for all devices in the AS and see what happens.
