Just had a mental wrecking event. :) I am wondering if there is any logic behind this, or just "one of those things."
Vol.1 Lab 10. OSPF. Task 10.14, entering the second process ID on R8. It has the first process ID already running on F0/1 interface, enabled with the network command. And, because it was a stub network at the beggining, I did passive F0/1. Now, it is time to add the second process, and it will run on that F0/1 interface. So, I put the network command - and nothing happened. OSPF showed that no process is running on that interface. So, debugging, looking, searching, you how it goes - I managed to do nothing. And it popped into my mind to try interface level command, to see what will happen. And the moment I entered the ip ospf 2 area 0 command, OSPF got started and formed a neighbor, like it should before. But then I removed that interface level command - and it continued to work, but with different router ID value... That is to say, it proves that the "ip ospf" process got killed, and then the new one from "network" command took over. So, the network command now works. So, now everything is ok. But it is interesting how this happened. Like this passive F0/1 from the first process killed any chance of running other OSPF processes... Temporarely. :) Best Regards, Bojan Zivancevic Network Engineer ---- Comutel d.o.o.
