OSPF transit areas across non-OSPF interfaces [7:26377]

I'm really quite confused by this. I am working through a lab currently which uses OSPF, EIGRP and BGP. I haven't reached the BGP bit yet which is okay, but there is an OSPF/EIGRP bit I don't get. ++ +---+ +---+ |

Hmm interesting. If you *didn't* connect your area 1 to the other ospf area 0, you could redistribute ospf into eigrp on R1 and then from eigrp to ospf on R2. Is that an option? The ospf process on R1 wouldn't even need to be aware of area 0 if it's the only area existing on the left

Thanks for the reply John. I was a bit bemused by it too. I suspect I've either missed the point completely or it's about redistribution, but I had thought about tunnelling too. I've reread through the lab itself and realise that I've misread it - the whole OSPF AS *is* connected together and
