I need some help advice with this one too from any Cisco command line experts. We need to connect up our router to another network and they are running OSPF.Their routers exist in the backbone area but connected to this area is area 15 which we have access to via ssh.If we connect our ospf router to theirs then we will not have connectivity to the backbone because of discontiguous areas.I need to tunnel through area 15 to reach the backbone. Unfortunately due to their layout or policies we can't plug directly into their backbone.

I'm not sure what the best way to do this is? advice appreciated.

Resolved now using a virtual link.
