Hi group,
 
Help me out with this please, I've been troubleshooting for several
hours but cannot come up with a solution! (this scenario is part of IE
core lab 5 btw. Now I'm describing a partial setup, original was full of
virtual links, I elinimated the irrelevent part. Was quite tricky
because the whole problem arose only after redistribution)

I have 3 routers in a FR hub and spoke topology:
 
R2(spoke) ----- R5 (hub) --------- R1 (spoke)
 
I was constrained to do PPP over FR with multipoint interfaces. I
configured PPPoFR between R2-R5 and R1-R5. Also, requrement was to use
the same subnet ---> same virtual template on hub for both PPP sessions.
It works fine, they exchange routes all is working till I introduce R1
as an ASBR. When I do so, I noticed that the E1-2 routes are going wrong
at R5:
 
Rack1R5#sh ip route
O E1 128.1.14.0/24 [110/21] via 128.1.125.1, 00:00:02,
Virtual-Access2
                      [110/21] via 128.1.125.1, 00:00:02,
Virtual-Access1

This means, that instead of going to the directly connected R1, there is
an invalid path present for the other virtual-access interface as well.
No wonder why since:
 
Rack1R5#sh ip ospf border
i 150.1.1.1 [1] via 128.1.125.1, Virtual-Access1, ABR/ASBR, Area 0, SPF
289
i 150.1.1.1 [1] via 128.1.125.1, Virtual-Access2, ABR/ASBR, Area 125,
SPF 91

I've tried to replace the ppp sessions with simple FR and then its good:
(FR maps it to correct DLCI)
i 150.1.1.1 [64] via 128.1.125.1, Serial0/0/0, ABR/ASBR, Area 0, SPF 283
i 150.1.1.1 [64] via 128.1.125.1, Serial0/0/0, ABR/ASBR, Area 125, SPF
85

How can I solve this? Is there any means to make it work with these
restrictions?

Thanks a lot! Istvan
