IEWB Dynamips, v4.1, Lab 17, Task 4.3

   I'm trying to configure a "very simple :P " OSPF area, between R2,
R3, and SW2 (all connected to the same ethernet segment: R2 via f0/0,
R3 via e0/1, and SW2 via VLAN23).

   However, the adjacency with the switch gets stuck in the
EXCHANGE/EXSTART stage. I know it looks like an MTU mismatch, but... all
interfaces show an MTU of 1500 bytes, and the command "ip ospf
mtu-ignore" does not solve the problem.

   [ Later edit: the switch interface is configured as part of a
vlan-bridge group, as per another task. If I remove the bridge-group
command from the interface, the neighbors immediately go to FULL. As
soon as I put the command back, they get stuck in EXSTART...
   The problem is already on the IE forum (
http://forum.internetworkexpert.com/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/23481/page/1#Post23481
) , but there is no clear answer (seems to work for some people, not
work for others).

   Does anybody know what I should do to make both tasks work?

   Thank you,
