RE: OSPF Virtual Link Troubles

All,

I finaly figured it out. link types were different.

On the connected link between r2 and r5. One was setup as a network type of
point-to-point while the other one was setup as broadcast. I think I dug
myself my own rat hole on this one, because at the begining when I initially
configured OSPF I hade problems with router adjacencies and when I debuged I
saw mis-matches hello timeers so I changed the hello timers instead of the
type of network link it was so it totally missed up the virtual links when I
had to configure them.

Lesson learn 1 - when you see miss-matched hello timers look at the type of
link it is first. Then change the link type to change the hello timers. :-)

Thanks,

Brian
