Hi Guys,
Somebody please say they have seen the same thing and know the problem.
I'm doing Lab 5 Volume III of Internetwork Expert if you have reference
material.
R1 has an Ethernet interface connected to area 0
Also a FR multipoint connected to the hub R5.
R2 is the other multipoint spoke interface connected to the multipoint
of R5.
Between R1 - R5 - R2 we're running PPP via virtual-template interfaces
over the FR.
Hope you are still with me.
Now, all the neighbours were okay, R2 and R5 had entries in their OSPF
databases for addresses in area 0 BUT...
R5 didn't put any of the routes into the routing table. R2 Did and could
ping the addresses in area 0
Reset the OSPF processes on all machines, no joy.
After sodding around for a while I checked the solution and it notes to
change the virtual-template interfaces to OSPF interface types to
multipoint.
Okay, did this and everything worked okay, changed it back to the
default point-to-point interfaces on the virtual-templates and NOW it
works okay.
Does anyone know the reason for this? I'm going to have a read up but if
anyone has some useful info then please let me know.
Cheers,
Simon.
