Ahh, yes, that rings a bell...
Maybe I am thinking of the "backbone", that everything has to go through the ba
ckbone. Although the backbone is usually called area 0, maybe it doesn't have t
o be.
I am reading in the Parkhurt book. it says-
"All non-zero ospf areas must have a connection to the backbone or Area 0 and a
rea 0 must be contiguous."
That hints that the backbone doesn't have to be area 0 but, I'm still reading..
.
But, then the question I am left with is if this router 6 in my area 5 has a se
ction for "
area 0", is it trying to tell me something is misconfigured by saying that area
0 is inactive?

Correct me if I'm wrong... but I don't think that you HAVE to haven an
area 0. I would think that if you didn't have an area 0, that there would
be no routing between areas. In other words, you network would all have to
be the same area... ???

Please respond to

Michael,
Thanks for your help.
I know with OSPF everything has to have a connection to area 0.
In this configuration, is it okay that area 0 shows inactive? Or is the
fact that area 0 is inactive telling me that I need to "fix" something?
If I had some trouble with route redistribution, I would know that I need
to fix something but, as far as I can tell, it seems to work.
Thanks,
David

Your R6 config shows no networks assigned to area 0, thats why area 0 shows
inactive on R6
