Hi Everybody,

Just a questing for the hardcore OSPF people. I have a scenario where my routers are connected link this.

R1 ------ R2 ------ R4 ------- R5 ------- R6 ------ R9


All routers run OSPF AREA 0 on their interconnected links and R1, R2 and R4 have their loopbacks in Area 1, 2 and 4.

Now I go and create a new OSPF process on R6 and R9 and changes the link between R6 and R9 to be Area 0 for the new process.

The question is WHY do i still have the entries from R1, R2, R4, R5 in the OSPF database of R9? Is there a timer that the OSPF database follows? If i do a reload on R6 and R9 the database will come up clean with only R6 and R9 entries. I just can't seem to clear the database in any other way.

/Ralph
