Question about OSPF virtual link.
Lets say we have R1, R2, R3 and we R1 is in area 0 and R2 one interface is in Area 0 and other is in area 1 and R3 has one int in area 1 and the other is in Area 2 and we have a router R4, 5 and R6 and R4 one interface is in area 2 and the other is area 3 and R5 one interface is in area 3 and the other is in area 4 and R6 is in area 4. How are we going to create a virtual link from R5 ABR to R2 ABR, Is that possible to have multiple transitive areas?

Hey, do we need a virtual link if we only have one ABR ?
I have a topology with 2 areas and 1 ABR but I cannot ping from a PC in area 1 to a PC from area 0...
I did exactly as you except I didn't give the routers IDs or virtual links.

why does ping not work for me? Success rate is always 0 percent
