OSPF EXST/BDR
Hi,
While trying to setup an OSPF session between a Brocade XMR 4000 and a Brocade CES2024C, I get the following error:
EXST/BDR
The same configuration between a Brocade CES and a CER works fine. I am guessing the problem has to do with MTU? Is there a way to force the mtu on the interface of the XMR, or any specific trick to be aware of?
Many Thanks,Greg.

Greg,

Yes, you can determine the current MTU on any NetIron device by doing:

IP MTU
#show ip int e 1/6 | in mtu
encapsulation: ETHERNET, mtu: 1500

Interface Frame Size
#show int e 1/6 | in MTU
Internet address is 10.9.1.17/27, MTU 1548 bytes, encapsulation ethernet

Then change that MTU by:

conf t
int e 1/6
ip mtu DECIMAL # (IP packet mtu size, default:1500)
ipv6 mtu DECIMAL # (IP packet mtu size, default:1500)

Or for details on making global ip mtu and frame size changes see:

There is 'IP ospf mtu-ignore'

There is "ip ospf mtu-ignore", but Danger, Will Robinson!, don't use it.
