Hi Nick, can i ask you something. i did setup your LAB from scratch and wanted to test if CUSTA_1 can reach CUSTB_1. so my questions is do i have to add CE routers on another OSPF Area or can i use EIGRP routing and redistribute the routes? i am struggling to connect after adding them to the different OSPF area.

Hello Donald, I would recommend only using Area 0 for the PE-to-CE peering. You can use OSPF, EIGRP, BGP or even static routes to enable connectivity. As long as on the PE, its redistributed into the main BGP process for the MPLS core. In your case, you can use EIGRP yes, but if using OSPF, these need to be in the backbone area. Hope this helps.
