-show version on R1 and R4

-show ip os neigh on R1, R2 and R4

-debug ip ospf events on R1

-debug ip ospf adj  on R1

-show ip ospf database router  on R1 and R4

-show ip ospf interface  on R1

and  "clear ip ospf process"  on R1

Hi,

I'm not sure where the answer in the other forum came from. I'm seeing that the source IP address used on the VL, is the loopback IP address as refered to by the unnumbered command. I'm seeing this working in my setup.The loopback IP addresses need to be known in the transit area of course.

Of course, I cannot guarantee it working in all operating systems, in all versions. That's why I asked more information.

Thanks,

Luc

Hi Luc,

I've just labbed it in Dynamips and it is working great.
