Hi, I wanted some help regarding a problem I was seeing when i had multiple interfaces with same ip address . I have multiple routing domains setup so i have valid cases to have same ip address on different interfaces (so i have seperate routing tables for each instance). When I do a show ospf interface for each ospf protocol instance, it seems to correctly dump the interface . When I did a packet capture, it shows incoming/outgoing hello packets, but when I enabled debug, i can see that it never prints a "hello packet received" message(but prints "hello packet sent") although, i can see the peer sending ospf hello packets. This seems to be a problem with only one instance and not both. Any help or assistance on this is highly appreciated.
