Description This article explains a situation where the OSPF neighbor is in a FULL state, yet no routes are being advertised from the FortiGate.
Scope FortiGate.
Solution

In the routing table, the neighbor's state is displayed, and if it shows a FULL state, it indicates that the neighbors are fully adjacent, allowing routers to use the learned OSPF routes to forward traffic.

 

However, there are instances where no routes are visible even when the neighbor is in a FULL state, as demonstrated in the following example.

 

get router info ospf neighbor

OSPF process 0, VRF 0:

Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface

10.10.10.1          1   Full/ -         00:00:30    10.7.251.252    x1

 

In this situation, it is important to verify the network type configured for the OSPF interface on both sides, ensuring that they match. For instance, if the FortiGate is set to broadcast, the neighboring device should also be set to broadcast.

 

An example configuration below:   

 

config router ospf

set router-id 0.0.0.1

config area

edit 0.0.0.0

next

end

config ospf-interface

edit "ospf"

set interface "x1"       

set network-type broadcast

next

end
