Re: OSPF non-broadcast network without neighbor-command

Yes - I agree that prohibiting any interface configuration for the spokes is
a mistake - the only secure way to make sure it will always work is to make
the spokes ineligible for DR/BDR by setting priority=0.

About the network type - i realized that the neighbor command would be
necessary only when the media is not multicast capable - not when the
network type is non-broadcast. Thanks anyway!
