Yes, this should be a problem. I suggest to remove the check.

Thanks and best regards,

Can some one explain reason for below check in OSPF function ospf_make_db_desc 
()

ospf_make_db_desc () { ...... if (IS_SET_DD_I (nbr->dd_flags) || CHECK_FLAG (nbr->options, OSPF_OPTION_O))
          {
             ...........
             SET_FLAG (options, OSPF_OPTION_O);
           }
}

As per RFC (section 10.8) OSPF process should maintain the same options until DD process is completed (Other wise neighbour restarts DD process again). Above check makes Quagga (acting as master in DD process) announcing opaque capability 1. Only for Initial (I bit is set) DD packet But not for next packet onwards if neighbour is NOT opaque capable This is makes neighbour ship struck in Exchange state forever or
2. If neighbour has opaque capability

Topology :

  Quagga ------------------------ R1
(Opaque capable)         (no Opaque capable)
