Hi Gregg,

Are the two token ring routers sharing one MAU or switch? I had something
happen to me once and it was because the 2 token ints were trying to form an
adjacency with each other - even though I knew they were on separate
subnets. The OSPF hellos were going out the one token ring interface to the
MAU and the 2nd router's token interface was picking up this multicast.

Hope this helps,
Sean

Group,

I'm receiving a mismatched OSPF area message between my two token ring
routers. I'm using MD5 auth for area 0 and there is a virtual link
involved.
Strange thing is there is a serial int subnet, 150.50.17.0 on the router
generating these messages, but the remote token ring router never complains
about the serial int (nor any other int's)..

deb ip ospf ev :
01:55:38: OSPF: Rcv pkt from 150.50.18.1, TokenRing0, area 0.0.0.2 mismatch
area 0.0.0.3 in the header

Only my token ring interfaces are involved with these messages. None of the
other routers (6) complain at all. Not a big deal as the routes are
installed
in the database and show up in the routing table.

The virtual link is operational and I'm not seeing the standard "backbone
area
must be virtual link..blah,blah..) messages"

Any ideas ? TIA - Gregg
