OSPF/4/OSPF_TX_RETRANSMIT

Message

OSPF/4/OSPF_TX_RETRANSMIT: An OSPF packet is retransmitted on a non-virtual interface. (RouterId=[RouterId], IfIpAddress=[IfIpAddress], AddressLessIf=[AddressLessIf], NbrIfIpAddress=[NbrIfIpAddress], NbrAddressLessIf=[NbrAddressLessIf], IfNeighbor=[IfNeighbor], PacketType=[PacketType], LsdbAreaId=[LsdbAreaId], LsdbType=[LsdbType], LsdbLsid=[LsdbLsid], LsdbRouterId=[LsdbRouterId])

Description

An OSPF packet was retransmitted on the non-virtual interface. The possible cause was that the physical link of the non-virtual interface was faulty.

Parameters

Parameter Name	Parameter Meaning
RouterId	Router ID of the local device
IfIpAddress	IP address of the non-virtual interface
AddressLessIf	Interface index
NbrIfIpAddress	IP address of the neighbor interface
NbrAddressLessIf	Index of the neighbor interface
IfNeighbor	Router ID of the neighbor
PacketType	Packet type
LsdbAreaId	Area ID of the LSDB
LsdbType	LSDB type
LsdbLsid	LS ID of the LSDB
LsdbRouterId	Router ID of the LSDB

Possible Causes

Cause 1: The address used to forward the packet could not be pinged.

Cause 2: The peer end considered the packet to be invalid.

Procedure

1. Check the number of retransmission times for each packet.

If a packet is retransmitted once or twice and the number of retransmitted packets is small, ignore the problem and go to Step 5.
If some packets are retransmitted for many times and continuously, go to Step 2.

2. Find the IP address of the neighbor to which packets are retransmitted from the alarm information and ping the IP address.

If it can be pinged, go to Step 4.
If it cannot be pinged, go to Step 3.

3. Check whether the alarm 1.3.6.1.2.1.14.16.2.9 is generated on the local and neighboring devices. If the alarm is generated, clear the alarm according to the alarm handling procedure. If the alarm persists, go to Step 4.

4. Contact technical support.

5. End.
