I think I saw a practice question about OSPF states, and it mentioned issues with the database description packets.

I remember something about mismatched MTU sizes causing issues in OSPF. Could that be it?

Ah yes, the exstart state - that's where the routers negotiate the initial exchange of database info. Hmm, could be a number of things causing it to get stuck there.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. The exstart state... I know that's an early stage in the OSPF adjacency process. Gotta dig into the details on that.

Okay, let's see. The exstart state is where the routers exchange their database descriptions, right? Probably need to check the network config.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the OSPF adjacency states carefully.
