I think You can do a ip ospf demand-circuit over a point to point
interface

  Hello group,

  I have a task where I'm asked to do a backup of a frame-relay circuit
  using OSPF. The backup line is a dedicated serial line encapsulated
  with
  ppp. The wording is as follow:

  Configure area 0 on the ppp link between R4 and R5

  The ppp link will be a backup of of frame-relay connection between R4
  and R5 (both using major interfaces, R5 hub, R4 spoke). Configure the
  network in such a way that this link is only used if R4 (a spoke)
  loses
  its connection to the frame-relay cloud.

  My obvious solution to this is just to increase the ospf cost of the
  interfaces involved on the ppp link, in order that it does not show
  up
  as the preferred path between R4 and R5.

  My doubt is that perhaps this solution may be too obvious, and
  perhaps I
  am missing something...

  Any suggestions or alternative ways of doing this? Am I just being
  paranoid about complexity?

  Thank you

  Gustavo Novais
