[j-nsp] OSPF invalid net mask

Hi Guys,

I am getting a lot of invalid netmask errors in my OSPF on a J2320.  I
have in total 6 cisco ospf talking switches and 2 j2320's on my network
(All in area 0.0.0.0).  The J2320 showing the error is linked to two
separate switches (Gigabit Ethernet, each link has its own /29 (However
in the same vlan)), which are in turn linked to each other.  My other
J2320 is linked to a down stream ospf talking switch.  I am not seeing
any ospf errors on my other router at all.

JTAC have had all of the diagnosis info and tell me they cannot see an
error at all, however I have configured snmp alerts and am getting 2
every couple of seconds telling me there is an invalid netmask.  Is
there anyway to get it to tell me said invalid netmask so that I can
take a look?

Could it be because my two links are in the same vlan (switch1 is linked
in VLAN810 to ge-0/0/0 on my router and switch2 is linked in VLAN810 to
ge-0/0/2 on my router) on my switches?  Would separating them out make a
difference?

My other router cannot see the same problem but can see all of the
networks over ospf.

Thanks,

Lee
