OSPF AREA Challenge - A Little Tricky Stuff

I am back again with some more obnoxious stuff for you guys, specially for potential CCIE Routing & Switching Lab candidates. But it's all part of entertainment.


So let me bring the new challenge. Down below is the topology(Physical/Logical)  to get start with:









So next obvious questions coming in your mind are:


> Where is Area 0 (Backbone Area) in the topology
                               &
> What's the challenge


So here is the challenge:


Each router in topology is having a loopback with IP Address -  X.X.X.X/24, Where X = Router Number. E.g. - On R1 it will be - 1.1.1.1/24


Now challenge is to configure Loopback0 of each router in Area 0 and ensure that each router sees routes to other Router's loopbacks as INTRA AREA Routes in routing table.


Something Like:





 


BTW... R6 in physical topology is acting as Frame-Relay Switch.


Below are the quick initials to begin with:

As far as I know, it should be either Virtual Link OR GRE Tunnel solution and not both at the same time.

If you configure GRE tunnel and advertise it under ARE 0 Then there should be no need for Virtual Link.

Unless I am missing something here..
