Hello, I am trying to configure OSPF so that all the end devices can ping each other. After configuring the routers, only PC0, 1 & 3 can ping each other. I tried to manually add R6 into R4 by the neighbor command but "Neighbor command only allowed on NBMA and P2MP networks" errors pops up. I got the same result when I tried to add R2 into R5.
R2---------------
R5--------------
R4---------------
R6----------------

Hello @zac32235
R3 seems to be the only ospf adjencies with it loopback 7.7.7.7
Do R3 and R5 ping Gi0/1 R2 interface ?
Please share ospf process config of each routers. Thanks.

Hi, R3 and R5 are not able to ping R2.
R1 no OSPF. Connected to R2 via static route
R2----

network 183.25.4.176 0.0.0.7 area 0
network 183.25.4.184 0.0.0.7 area 0
R3----

Thanks. So debug why R3 and R5 are not able to ping R2 Gi0/1 interface. Check Switch config etc...

I dont have PKT now in my phone' and M02@rt37 can help you alot in this task
I will give you hint what is your mistake
You config area 0 not between router' i.e. the area 0 is split which is need virtual link or you can re-arrange topolgy and make the center router use area 0 and sided router use other area

Hi I tried doing the virtual link but I got the error below while debugging
This is the topology I'm trying to achieve so I am unable to change the topology

Hello
You do not require a VL, the the ospf BB ( r2-3-5) is NOT discontingous as R4(ABR) also has connection to the BB via R3

Can mention the area you use in each router'
Make circile for each area
Thanks

this design
NOTE:- R2 R3 R5 need to be in same subnet if area0 since routers connect via SW
SW must use same VLAN to connect R2 R3 and R5

Hi, I managed to fix my issue. I went back to check my connections and found that the R2 connections got swapped. For R4 I had to add the area manually to the interface itself and it works. Thank you for your help!
