For a start it appears you do not have a common subnet on the link between the two devices so it'll complain about that.
Make the Router A interface 10.1.1.1/255.255.255.252 and Router B 10.1.1.2/255.255.255.252 then add router ospf 1 network 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.3 area 0 Every OSPF network must have a backbone or area 0. The 'router ospf x' where x is simply a number you assign to identify that routers OSPF process ID, it can even be different on different routers! The shared areas though MUST match between routers. Really I should just say RTFM but I won't ;o) http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/1.html Darren Ward (PGradCS, CCIE #8245, SCSA, CCNP, CCDP, MCP) On Wed, 10 Jul 2002, John Brandis wrote: > I have the following error whilst playing with OSPF > > 12:52:40: %OSPF-4-ERRRCV: Received invalid packet: mismatch area ID, from > backbone area must be virtual-link but not found from 10.1.4.20, Ethernet0 > > I have 2 routers, Router A and Router B, back to back.
