OSPF neighbors not forming adjacency and stuck in the 2WAY state typically indicates that the interface is set to passive mode, preventing OSPF Hello packets from being sent or received on that interface.

Removing passive mode on VLAN 182 allows OSPF Hello messages to be exchanged and adjacency to form.

Options involving network type or costs do not affect adjacency states related to passive interfaces.

The max-metric router-lsa on-startup affects LSA advertisements, not adjacency formation.

Therefore, the fix is to configure no passive-interface vlan182.

When deploying a new Aruba CX 8325 switch to provide gateway and routing services, the L3-apg profile (Layer 3 Aggregation Profile) should be selected instead of the factory default. This profile is designed for switches acting as aggregation or core routers, enabling Layer 3 routing capabilities and optimized configurations for such roles.

The Spine profile (factory default) is optimized for leaf/spine architectures, but may not be ideal for aggregation gateways.

Leaf and L3-core profiles are targeted for different roles.

Using the L3-apg profile helps to ensure the switch is correctly optimized for Layer 3 gateway functions.
