Hi everybody.
I am trying to establish a virtual link between R3 and R2 so area 2 can connect to area 0 and R1 will learn R4's loopback prefix 2000::4/128.
Detail is given below:
R1--s0/0---area 0---s0/0-R2--s0/1--area 1---s0/1-R3--s0/0---area 2-----s0/0--R4
All the above routers's serial interfaces are configured with " ipv6 address autoconfig".
R1's id 1.1.1.1, R2's id 2.2.2.2, R3's id 3.3.3.3,R4's id 4.4.4.4
R4 has loopback address 2000::4/64.
R3 is learning 2000::4/128 from R4.
As expected, R1 is not learning this route because area 2 is not yet connected to it.
Now if we configure a virtual-link between R3 and R2 , R1 should know 2000::4
But for some reasons, R1 is not learning this route.
R3#show ipv6 route
IPv6 Routing Table - 4 entries
Codes: C - Connected, L - Local, S - Static, R - RIP, B - BGP
U - Per-user Static route, M - MIPv6
I1 - ISIS L1, I2 - ISIS L2, IA - ISIS interarea, IS - ISIS summary
O - OSPF intra, OI - OSPF inter, OE1 - OSPF ext 1, OE2 - OSPF ext 2
ON1 - OSPF NSSA ext 1, ON2 - OSPF NSSA ext 2
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external
C 2000::/64 [0/0]
via ::, Loopback3
L 2000::3/128 [0/0]
via ::, Loopback3
O 2000::4/128 [110/64]
via FE80::C203:12FF:FEC0:0, Serial0/1
L FF00::/8 [0/0]
via ::, Null0
==============================
Below is the virtual-link configured at R3:
pv6 router ospf 1
router-id 3.3.3.3
log-adjacency-changes
area 1 virtual-link 2.2.2.2
!
Virtual-link configuration at R2:
ipv6 router ospf 1
router-id 2.2.2.2
log-adjacency-changes
area 1 virtual-link 3.3.3.3
!
Routing table at R1 is shown below:
R1#show ipv6 route
OI 2000::3/128 [110/128]
via FE80::C201:12FF:FEC0:0, Serial0/0
L FF00::/8 [0/0]
via ::, Null0
The prefix 2000::4/128 is missing even though virtual-link is configured between R2 and R3.

Hi Sarahr,
I have tested your case on GNS3. This provided an intersting result.
On the 3640 with IOS c3640-jk9s-mz.124-16 it did not work, I could not even establish ospf neighbors.
Then I decided to move the lab to a 3745 using IOS Version 12.4(15)T6.
To my surprise it worked almost at once, for some reason the new R1 did not take the modified config but after correcting this GNS-related problem, everthing was ok. This is some output from R1:
R1#sh ipv6 ro

This implies your config is correct and the problem is with the IOS version or so.
Are you using GNS as well?
I can send the lab via email if you want.

Hi Sara,
Here is a good configuration example of OSPFv3 Virtual Link. OSPFv3 Virtual Link Configuration Example
