routing – Router on one side of a GRE tunnel not adding OSPF route through the tunnel whilst the router on the other side is

I have configured GRE tunnel between the Dublin and Carlow routers with the following commands:

//Carlow
int tunnel 0 
ip address 172.16.12.1 255.255.255.252
tunnel source s0/0/0
tunnel destination 87.44.50.6

//Dublin
int tunnel 0 
ip address 172.16.12.2 255.255.255.252
tunnel source s0/0/0
tunnel destination 87.44.50.2

The tunnel has a network address of 172.16.12.0/30 (Dublin = 172.16.12.2, Carlow = 172.16.12.1).

Pings are successful over the tunnel so I tried to configure OSPF to allow for routing between the LANs.

I used the following commands to configure OSPF:

//Carlow 
router ospf 2
network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
network 87.44.50.24 0.0.0.7 area 0

//Dublin
router ospf 2
network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
network 87.44.50.16 0.0.0.7 area 0

The result from this configuration so far is that:

• On the Carlow router, an OSPF route to 87.44.50.16 has been added via 172.16.12.1 (the tunnel interface on the Dublin router)

• On the Dublin router, no OSPF routes have been added.

I will add in below the running configuration on each router for OSPf

Carlow:

router ospf 2
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
 network 84.44.50.24 0.0.0.7 area 0
!
router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 87.44.50.4 0.0.0.3 area 0

Dublin:

router ospf 2
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 172.16.12.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
 network 87.44.50.16 0.0.0.7 area 0
!
router ospf 1
 log-adjacency-changes
 network 87.44.50.0 0.0.0.3 area 0

As requested I will add in the full configuration and routing table for each router.
