Hi Group,
I found a hint on virtual-link problem i have. My guess is that it is
impossible to build up virtual link if at least one of the routers is
connected to transit area only with ip unnumbered link. Here is an excerpt
from RFC2328:
--- Just as the virtual link's cost and viability are determined by the routing table build process (through construction of the routing table entry for the other endpoint), so are the IP interface address for the virtual interface and the virtual neighbor's IP address. These are used when sending OSPF protocol packets over the virtual link. Note that when one (or both) of the virtual link endpoints connect to the Transit area via an unnumbered point-to-point link, it may be impossible to calculate either the virtual interface's IP address and/or the virtual neighbor's IP address, thereby causing the virtual link to fail. ---As you see it is not clearly stated that link will definately fail. It is writen 'may'. Any ideas on what topology virtual-link with ip unnumbered would work?
Cheers, Vytautas Valancius
