Cheers Wayne. This is actually a home grown lab I am playing with to get
some idea of how router-on-a-stick works. For some reason I expected I
would need a virtual link on R5 and R6 because they were not directly
connected to any of the OSPF area 0 speakers. I guess that the
router-on-a-stick scenario does not make the OSPF areas undirectly
connected. I really just wanted a couple of you guys on the list to verify
it.
Cheers
