OSPF database not purging entries when neighbor relationship has terminated

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • We have a linux box with two interfaces in it. One interface is configured with OSPF area 0 and the other interface is configured to use BGP. We are redistributing routes bi-directionally. During a failover test we pulled out the cable on the interface running OSPF. The link went down which is expected, the OSPF neighbor-ship was removed which is also expected. However the OSPF database still had all the entries and therefore being advertised via BGP which it shouldn't be doing.
