Dehong,

        Not necessarily. Partially meshed networks can work with L1 to
a degree. The hub can exchange routes with the spokes, and the spokes
can exchange routes with the hub, but the spokes will not see each
others routes. Design-wise the solution is just to run point-to-point
ip subnets. A workaround if you don't want to do this would be to have
the spokes just default to the hub.

HTH,
