i have a standard hub and spoke topology with the hub being frame
multipoint. one spoke is a frame physical interface and the other spoke is a
p-t-p sub. since the hub comes up as a point to multipoint interface as far
as ospf goes (i do have IARP turned off and frame maps to each spoke on hub
and also on the physical spoke pointing to other spoke and the hub) and i
make each spoke an ip ospf network p-t-mp. everything is up, frame and ospf,
but the solution says to use the ip ospf network p-t-mp on the hub also. i
really dont see the need for this since the frame multipoint comes up
automatically as a p-t-mp. i know i should nail down everything i can
statically, but am i really gaining anything in this situation? Thanks!
