Hey group,

OSPF virtual links. Here's my configs:

the virtual link seems to be working fine. Here's a paste of
show ip ospf virtual-link from r2523
r2523#show ip ospf vir
Virtual Link OSPF_VL0 to router 3.3.3.3 is up
  Run as demand circuit
  DoNotAge LSA allowed.
  Transit area 1, via interface Serial0, Cost of using 64
  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,
  Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
    Hello due in 00:00:01
    Adjacency State FULL (Hello suppressed)

Here's a paste of show ip ospf virtual-link from r4000
r4000#show ip ospf vir
Virtual Link OSPF_VL0 to router 2.2.2.2 is up
  Run as demand circuit
  DoNotAge LSA allowed.
  Transit area 1, via interface Serial0, Cost of using 64
  Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,
  Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5

    Adjacency State FULL (Hello suppressed)

Here's the problem. I cannot ping r4000's ethernet interface (which is in 
area 4) from r2503. the network statement for 152.1.1.0/24 is in r2503's 
route table, but not in r2523's route table.

r2503#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate 
default
       U - per-user static route, o - ODR

Gateway of last resort is not set

     1.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       1.1.1.0 is directly connected, Loopback0
     152.1.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA    152.1.1.0 [110/138] via 192.1.1.2, 00:17:22, Serial0
O IA 193.1.1.0/24 [110/128] via 192.1.1.2, 00:17:22, Serial0
C    192.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0

r2523#show ip route
Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
       D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
       N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
       E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
       i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, * - candidate 
default
       U - per-user static route, o - ODR

Gateway of last resort is not set

     2.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 1 subnets
C       2.2.2.0 is directly connected, Loopback0
C    193.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, Serial0
C    192.1.1.0/24 is directly connected, Serial1

When I try to ping 152.1.1.1 from r2503, I get U.U.U. This makes total sense 
because r2523 does not have a route for it in its table, but the question 
is: Why doesn't r2523 have a route for 152.1.1.0/24 in its table?

If someone can spot a mistake in my config, or even give me an idea, please 
feel free. :)

Fred
