Re: ospf virtual-link over totally stubby area

Gregory,
               You can configure some networks with two separate subnets on
the same physical segment. In this case, EIGRP routers on one subnet may not
be able to communicate with EIGRP routers on the other subnet. For OSPF and
EIGRP it is important that the neighbors be on the common subnet to ensure
proper functionality of the protocols.

You can connect two Areas(atleast one being area 0) in OSPF connected via a
Stub transit area using a GRE tunnel. Some of the drawbacks would include
additional overhead on the tunnel endpoints as they would have to
encap/decap every packet going through the tunnel, GRE header adds
additional overhead.

You can use the network command under ospf process or use interface level
ospf command, you are adding networks to ospf process in both cases.

HTH,
Tarun
