Re: OSPF Virtual Links and PPPoFR

I'm confused about your question now -- Can you please re-word that? What
was the "original configuration" and what is the configuration now? In
general, the OSPF network types should match. You can get away with
mismatches in some cases by tweaking timers, but I wouldn't recommend it
unless you need to for a task.
