As the spec says, they shouldn't! Summaries have to come through Abr's and
through area 0. Without an area 0, that can't happen! Ah well, the journey
is all the fun anyway, right? :)

Thanks Scott.
 I'm aware of that is not the expected or correct behavior, but that is how
my routers were behaving.
 I realized later that any other interface I was adding in Area0 was making
the virtual link to go up, even another loopback.
 I started toggling the network statement of the original loopback to see it
that make any difference, nothing. Finally I added and removed the loopback
itself and *magic* the virtual link went up even with only that interface in
Area0.
 I was hitting a bug. Yesterday evening I tried over and over to see if I
could find a sequence of operations that was deterministically leading into
the issue, but I wasn't lucky.
 
 Anyway I guess I discovered something useful for others in future. Not sure
I could help beatccielab though, it seems that in his case the VL doesn't
really want to go up.
 
 BTW, even my routers do not cooperate if I don't have an interface in area
0.

That shouldn't make a difference, loopbacks work fine (see previous posts
regarding this with tests/debugs).

Brian Dennis seems to have made it work without any actual interfaces
existing in Area 0, but I couldn't get any of my routers to cooperate in
that fashion. Mine apparantly pay attention to the RFC. :)

Sorry,
 just checked your configs. You *are* using a loopback to simulate Area0 Try
using a physical port.

Are you using a loopback interface on R5 to represent area 0?
 I've just lab it out and I saw your same behavior (even the area 0
inactive) until I haven't used a real link for my area 0.
