It is a right config. If both area 345 does'n advertise common LSA's ( 3
) the interarea routes work fine. Ii's explained in OSPF RFC's. ( RFC
2328 )
Both areas 345 are attached to area 0, so you do not need a
virtual-link.

I die. I fracture into thousands of fragments of flushed embarrassment.
My body parts fly, connectionless, over a badly constructed spanning
tree that isn't quite loop free.
I fall screaming into 127.0.0.1.

Hey guys,

This is weird.

area 0 R4 area 345 R5 area 345 R3 area 0

As you can see, area 0 is discontinuous, but even without a virtual-link
from R4 to R3

everything works fine. Can anybody explain that?

TIA, Tim
