OSPF/6/CONFLICT_ROUTERID_INTER

Message

OSPF/6/CONFLICT_ROUTERID_INTER: OSPF router ID conflict may have occurred in inter-area.(ProcessId=[ProcessId], RouterId=[RouterId])

Description

The router IDs of OSPF devices in different areas might conflict because external routes were constantly refreshed.

Parameters

Parameter Name Parameter Meaning

ProcessId

ID of a process.

RouterId

Router ID.

Possible Causes

The same router ID was configured for devices in different areas, causing route flapping.

This log is generated in the following scenarios:

  • Normal scenario: Device A generates a Type 5 LSA and floods it to Device B.

Due to a fault, Device A restarts and reestablishes the neighbor relationship with Device B.

Then, Device A receives the Type 5 LSA generated by itself from Device B.

Because the router ID in the LSA conflicts with the local one, the log is generated.

A large number of Type 5 LSAs may exist in the system.

Therefore, this scenario is very common.

The log generated in this scenario requires no action.

  • Conflict scenario: The same router ID is configured for devices in different areas, causing route flapping.

Procedure

1. Run the ospf router-id router-id command to change the router ID.

2. End.
