Restrictions and Basic config

Network Diagnose & Troubleshoot

Restrictions:

  • Unlike in XE, in XR we need ospfv2 for IPv4 and ospfv3 for IPv6. Also Ospfv2(in XR) cannot form neighborship with ospfv3(ipv4 in XE/IOS)
  • OSPF stub routing on XRv (virtual) does not work
  • OSPFv3 IPv4 nssa does not work in XE/ IOS. Use ospfv2 for ipv4 nssa
  • For Stub routing to work on any one router to work, that router must have atleast one interface in area0 i.e. connected to backbone area (Hint: Use loopbacks)
  • When configuring passive interface using OPSFv3 in IOS/ XE, network prefixes unlike in XR by default won't get advertised with LSA, on top of that we don't have specific command to advertise passive interface in OSPFv3 for IOS and XE. We can use tools like redistribute connected with route-maps.
