Re: OSPF demand!

Hi,

    Great idea on making the ISDN an stub no summary area, so that ISDN will
not flap when there is a topology changes of other networks. However, if the
ISDN is used to backup the frame-relay (which is an area 0 of OSPF), a down
of the frame relay may cause a partition of backbone area of OSPF. To fix
it, we can create a virtual link across the ISDN to connect the backbone
area when frame realy is down. If we configure the ISDN as stub no-summary
area, virtual-link cannot to create. Do yours guys have any comment on this
scenario.

Best Regards,
William Chen
