OSPF Area Mismatch on a New Link

Restore or configure OSPF routing for the required networks.

Scenario

Valley Hospice has lost OSPF connectivity between two adjacent campus routers, leaving part of the network unavailable beyond the shared link. The routers must rejoin the same intended area so routing information can pass between their sites. Successful completion restores reliable access to the affected internal networks.
