Hi
I have query related to OSPF Graceful Restart.
Consider this scenario:
- Three Routers R1, R2 and R3 connected via Broadcast networks.
- Where R1 is a DR on both the segments, where as R2 and R3 are in
DR-other
- Now R1 wants to perform GR, R2 and R3 agrees to be its Helpers.
- Now after restart R1 will try to form adjacency with both R2 and R3.
- Lets say R1 and R2 had become FULL, while R1 and R3 had reached
Exstart state. Now at this time R2 receives an LSA (any type 1-5 and
7, from some other router existing in the same area, not pictured here)
which he needs to flood to R1.
- This will force R2 to quit Helper Status, while R1 and R3 are still in
process of forming adjacency.
Since he has reached FULL state, he is no longer a helper router.
Considering above scenario, my doubts are:
- How will R1 come to know that its Helper R2 has quit?
Since he has reached FULL state, he is no longer a helper router.
- Will the adjacency between R1 and R2 needs to go down, as R2 quits
helper mode?
No
- Will this effect the adjacency formation of R1 and R3?
No. R3 MAY exit helper status and re-originate a new router LSA if he
receives the new
LSA before reaching FULL state with R1 AND he is has strict-LSA-checking
configured.
Hope this helps,
Acee

Aamir
