This is about IEWB Lab #1 Q 3.2
Due to the limitation of my equipment I use back-to-back serial link to
simulate the LAN connection between R4 and R5.  The topology looks like
R4 ---(FR) --- R5
....\............./
.....--(PPP)--
The IP adress are the same as defined in the work book.
After I configured the Q 3.2 with the virtual link enabled.  I found the
Virtual link is down :
R5#sh ip ospf v
Virtual Link OSPF_VL1 to router 150.1.4.4 is down
  Run as demand circuit
  DoNotAge LSA allowed.
  Transit area 0.0.0.45, Cost of using 65535
  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State DOWN,
  Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
R5#
So that the PPP link can not backup the  FR link in area 0.
Checked the link S1 got no problem as the OSPF neighbour established:
R5#sh ip ospf nei
Neighbor ID     Pri   State           Dead Time   Address         Interface
150.1.3.3         0   FULL/DROTHER    00:00:03    183.1.0.3       Serial0
150.1.4.4         0   FULL/DROTHER    00:00:03    183.1.0.4       Serial0
150.1.4.4         0   FULL/DROTHER    00:00:03    183.1.45.4      Serial1
R5#
My OSPF config is shown below
R5#sh run | b router ospf
router ospf 1
 router-id 150.1.5.5
 log-adjacency-changes
 area 0.0.0.45 authentication message-digest
 area 0.0.0.45 virtual-link 150.1.4.4
 network 150.1.5.5 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 183.1.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
 network 183.1.45.0 0.0.0.255 area 0.0.0.45

 network 183.1.46.0 0.0.0.255 area 0.0.0.46
Can someone help me to figure out where is the problem?  Thanks.
