Hello,
First, note:
"When an OSPF demand circuit is configured on a link, the periodic OSPF
hellos are suppressed. Periodic hellos are suppressed only on a
point-to-point and point-to-multipoint network type. *On any other network
type, OSPF hellos are still sent over the interface."
*Next, you don't need to enable "demand-circuit" on every router in domain
:)
Actually, all routers just need to support that option, i.e. advertise DC
bit set
in options inside LSA packets. This is default for all moders cisco routers,
anyway :)
There is a special method (idication LSA) for ABR to signal into backbone,
if
is has a Non-DC capable ospf router in attached area. This is mentioned in
document,
too.
