OSPF Lab Issue
So, while doing an OSPF lab, ran into a little bit of an issue. I’ve got a 3 router setup , hub and spokes. All routers have their loopbacks as their router#’s, e.g. R1’s loopback 1.1.1.1 /32 , and so on. All loopbacks are in different areas, e.g. loopback for Router 2 (2.2.2.2) in Area 2. All serial interfaces are in Area 0.
OSPF has been configured, and I can ping from R1<-> R2, R1<->R3, R2<-> R1, R3<-> R1 using their loopbacks, but I can ping R2 <-> R3 using their loopbacks.
Here’s my configs on all routers:
R1:
interface Loopback0
ip address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.255
!
interface Serial0/0
ip address 172.12.123.1 255.255.255.0
encapsulation frame-relay
serial restart-delay 0
frame-relay map ip 172.12.123.2 122 broadcast
frame-relay map ip 172.12.123.3 123 broadcast
router ospf 1
log-adjacency-changes
network 1.1.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 1
network 172.12.123.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

Trying to figure out why I can’t ping loopbacks from R2<->R3 and vice-versa.
EDIT: Figured it out. I forgot to put the statement:
ip ospf network point-to-multipoint
on the s0/0 interfaces participating in the FR cloud.
