[Solved]Simple OSPF inter-area routing not working

[fans_cisco]

1. Three cisco routers are connected tandemly.R1(e0/0)-------------(e0/1)R2(e0/0)------------(e0/1)R32. OSPF intra-area routing is configured below,R1:
configure terminal
int e0/0
ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
configure terminal
router ospf 1
network 10.0.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1R2:
configure terminal
int e0/1
ip address 10.0.1.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
configure terminal
int e0/0
ip address 10.0.2.1 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
configure terminal
router ospf 1
network 10.0.1.2 0.0.0.0 area 1
network 10.0.2.1 0.0.0.0 area 1R3:
configure terminal
int e0/0
ip address 10.0.2.2 255.255.255.0
no shutdown
configure terminal
router ospf 1
network 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 area 13. OSPF intra-area routing works corretly below,R1:
show ip route ospf
-> O 10.0.2.0 via 10.0.2.1R3:
show ip route ospf
-> O 10.0.1.0 via 10.0.1.24. Re-configure it as OSPF inter-area routing below,R2:
configure terminal
router ospf 1
network 10.0.2.1 0.0.0.0 area 2R3:
configure terminal
router ospf 1
network 10.0.2.2 0.0.0.0 area 25. But, OSPF inter-area routing doesn't work below,R1:
show ip route ospf
-> (empty)R3:
show ip route ospf
-> (empty)What's wrong above?Thanks a lot!

Renumbering area 2 to 0 solved the problem.

Yes it would because OSPF different numbered area won't exchange routes except for area zero which will exchange routes with any other numbered area.
