Hi All,
Got a sticky one here. Scenario is this
MGT-ROUTER <> VPLS <> GW-ROUTER (V7.9.2) <> Netonix Switch <> 18GHZ PTP <> Netonix Switch <> ST-ROUTER (V6.49.
I have PTP addressing between the GW & ST routers and they ping each other fine. I enable OSPF all good. Pinging on interface address's and loopback IP's.
Now I add 2 VPLS tunnel's between MGT-Router and ST-ROUTER. All good, stand up fine, can bridge my interfaces that I need and all happy.
Then I add a VPLS between GW-ROUTER and ST-ROUTER. Bam all goes to shit. pings drop in and out, OSPF keeps failing and even the PTP IP connection keeps dropping. I turn off the VPLS all goes back to normal. Happy days.
Here's the hitch. I have the exact same setup working just fine in other separate networks. At first I though it was firmware but I tried both V7 and V6. I have 3 other ST-Routers connecting to the GW-Router and the VPLS works fine also.
I've triple checked that the correct interfaces are in the LDP interface list. All the Intervals are matched, MTU is above what's required. Checked the switches and wireless radios MTU. All above required.
Hope this sounds familiar to some and I can be pointed to something to look at.
