Problem with a topology on OSPF mutliarea protocol

[KonstantinosDimos78791]

I have to do the following topology on packet tracer, I use the student edition:

topology

I read the ospf protocol with mutli areas and I understand many things. But first I can't do the above topology on packet tracer, when I statically make the ip route from R2 to R4 I can't pint to it. I use copper-straight-through and the HWIC-4ESW to extend the ethernet ports to R2. Any suggestion?

For example I give from R2:

#enable

#configure terminal

#interface f0/1

#ip address 172.16.32.1 255.255.255.0

#no shutdown

#exit

and from R4 the below:

#enable

#configure terminal

#interface f0/0

#ip address 172.16.32.2 255.255.255.0

#no shutdown

#exit

And can't connect (get red signals on the wire).

Also can anyone explain me how make summarization on R2,R3,R4,R5?  What instructions do I have to complete?  Thanks in advance!!!

Do not use HWIC-4ESW; that is a switching module for connecting PCs like a L2 switch inside of a router. HWIC-4ESW uses interface vlan x to communicate.  

if u need ports, add fiber ports Or use 2811 router and add module with 2 fast Ethernet ports

Mulitarea OSPF in PT works but it is not accurate as real routers.  

you can zip your PT file and attach here. must be a zip file to be able to attach here
