Re: OSPF virtual-link down due to "max-metric" command

I Was just searching through my email archives for a solution to the
same issue I am currently having with IEWB vol1 v4 lab 3 task 4.5 .

I ran into the exact same situation and had to adjust the cost on both
R5 and R4 s0/1 to less than 65535 in order for the virtual link across
area 45 to come up.
