Hi, Joseph,

This lab is NMC DOiT Lab 8 on R2.

You are right. It is software bug. I just loaded the original
configuration from NMC SHOWiT Lab 8 to my real 3640. The problem is same.

"OSPF: Neighbor command is allowed only on NBMA and point-to-multipoint
networks" showed up during reload.

Thanks

Frank

Here is show ip ospf inter f0/0.10
R2#sh ip ospf inter f0/0.10
FastEthernet0/0.10 is administratively down, line protocol is down
  Internet Address 172.16.25.2/24, Area 10
  Process ID 1, Router ID 172.16.102.1, Network Type NON_BROADCAST, Cost: 1
  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State DOWN, Priority 1
  No designated router on this network
  No backup designated router on this network
  Timer intervals configured, Hello 30, Dead 120, Wait 120, Retransmit 5
    oob-resync timeout 120
