Neighbors Stuck in Exstart/Exchange State The problem occurs most frequently when you attempt to run OSPF between a Cisco router and another vendor router. The problem occurs when the maximum transmission unit (MTU) settings for neighboring router interfaces do not match. If the router with the higher MTU sends a packet larger that the MTU set on the neighboring router, the neighbor router ignores the packet. When this problem occurs, the output of the show ip ospf neighbor command displays output similar to what is shown in this figure.

A mismatched Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) setting on OSPF interfaces can cause routers to get stuck in the ExStart state. OSPF requires that both sides of a link have the same MTU to form a full adjacency.References:

In MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching) networks, routers use label switching to forward packets. The first router at the edge of the MPLS network (R1) will perform a lookup in the mpls.0 table to determine the label to attach to the packet as it enters the MPLS network. This label informs the next routers in the MPLS network (like R2) on how to forward the packet. Internal MPLS routers, like R2, also perform lookups in their mpls.0 table to determine how to switch the packet toward its destination (label swapping). The inet.3 table is used for resolving next-hop information for labeled routes, but it's the mpls.0 table that is used for label switching decisions.

The exhibit shows an aggregate route configuration for the network172.21.0.0/22, which would summarize the specific networks172.21.0.0/24,172.21.1.0/24, and172.21.2.0/24. For an aggregate route to be active, it must have contributing routes in the routing table. If the route is hidden, it usually means there are no contributing routes that are active or the policy applied to the aggregate does not match any of the specific routes.Therefore, the first step in troubleshooting would be to verify that there are indeed active contributing routes for the aggregate to be valid.
