Hi all,

i'm new to this Cisco world so bare with me please. i'm trying to configure OSPF between two Cisco 2800 series and i'm unable to see the neighbor routers. the design is not fully completed since i'm waiting for my second ASA and ISP link but i'm trying to get as much done and configure both routers. i had bgp configured and working but removed it to try to isolate the issue. i will be adding it back.

here is brief of the topology i have and will be implementing. see attachment for a more detail drawing. 

Thanks in advance for the help.

Since you are using passive-interface default command under router OSPF you will have to configure no passive-interface on each interface where routing adjacencies should form. 

So for R2:

router ospf 1

no passive-interface G0/1

R1:

router ospf 1

no passive-interface G0/1

Try that and see how it works.

That did the trick. thanks for the quick response. was driving me crazy. now on to HSRP.

Thanks again

We have this issue couple of times. 1 solution for this is to - make the ospf interface point to point with - ip ospf network point-to-point or  ip ospf network broadcast.
