Task 1
Configure OSPF in area 0, area 1 and area 2 as per pic. 1.
Task 2
Configure OSPF in area 3 as per pic. 1. Make sure that all routers in area 3 have full reachability to the rest of the network.

Task 2
Configure OSPF in area 3 as per pic. 1. Make sure that all routers in area 3 have full reachability to the rest of the network.
Note!
Area 3 does not have a direct connectivity to the backbone area (area 0). In order for area 3 routers to receive all the LSAs and get the reachability to the rest of the domain, a virtual link between R2 and R4 is required. The transit area (area 2) must be a normal area (not a stub one) for the virtual link to work.
