Can't ping two points on Multi area Ospf

StolenSkills
Level 1
Level 1

Doing a project for my job interview,

one of my goals is to connect everything using different technologies,

I did multi area OSPF here with a back bone and all

R4 and R0 connect well to R2,R5,R6 and R6 connect to R4 and R0

The problem is with R3 and R7

They connect well inside of the their area, R3 pings R0,R4,R1 and R7 pings R6 and R5

but both of them cant ping outside their of their area.

 

here is the commands :

for R3:

You need to reload both routers after removing that line...

 

Install version 8, that is always (backwards) compatible with all earlier versions...

Hello,

 

it is difficult to see what the ABRs are for the given areas. Post the zipped Packet Tracer project (.pkt) file...

Its not done and alot of configuration haven't been done yet,so focus on the ospf for now

Hello,

 

the problem were the lines marked in bold. These lines made all interfaces part of the backbone area as well, which is incorrect. After removing these statements I could ping from anywhere to anywhere...

 

Attached the working file with end to end connectivity...

Can you explain why? From what I remember you need to to give the addresses to the backbone in order to connect the two different areas

 

Hello,

 

one interface cannot be part of two areas. Typically, on an ABR, only the interface connected to the backbone is member of area 0.

I removed both of those myself and they still can't Ping, why?

And your Packet tracer version is not comptable with mine So I cannot look into your file
