Re: Regarding OSPF

Absolutely Ravi !

Documentation wont tell you A to Z .
But messge the you are getting could make the things absolutely clear :)

Just remember 2 thing :
[A] " Neighbor cost " will work on point-to-multipoint
[B] "Neighbor database filter " will work on point-to-multipoint.

If you violate these ; you will get proper error :)
