An OSPF router must establish a neighbor or adjacency relationship
with another OSPF router to exchange routing information. Failure to
establish a neighbor relationship is caused by any of the following
reasons: 
-
Hellos are not sent from both neighbors.
-
Hello and dead interval timers are not the same.
-
Interfaces are on different network types.
-
Authentication passwords or keys are different.
In OSPF routing it is also important to ensure the following:
-
All interfaces have the correct addresses and subnet mask.
-
network area
statements have the correct wildcard masks.
-
network area
statements put interfaces into the correct area.
