Hi Scott,
How does it work if I have the following setup where R2 is the ABR
without Area 0?
[R1]----(area 10)-------[R2]------(area 20)-----[R3]
Without Area 0 define in any of R2 interface, R1 and R3 cannot
communicate with each other. "no capability transit" at R2 does not
help.
Can you shine some light? :)
