OSPF Routing Problem

[1lumkk]

My R3 acts as a frame-relay switch connecting R1. The frame-relay circuit is up. However, R1 is unable to see R6 thru ospf routing. Attached here is the config & diagram to explain. Hope some1 can help this novice. Many thanks.

The diagram is a little confusing. Red is the serial link and there is a partially obscured black line representing FE between R2 and R3.

I think we might benefit from seeing the running config on R2.

Hello Stuey,

yes it is the FE link between R3 and R2 that needs to be part of area 0; otherwise area 3 has no connection to backbone area.

The correct note is that of Narayan.

A router can be a FR switch on some interfaces and can take part to OSPF routing on other interfaces so the config appears correct.

The only problem is that area 3 is not attached to area 0.

I agree the diagram is a little misleading.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

p.s. what about your BSCI exam ? I hope you did well

NO, Its not confusing..

Its very clear, He told verbally that R3 acts as frame-relay Switch, besides relative config are also wrong.
