I know it is hard to see without seeing the configs. Actually, "ip
classless" is one of the first things
I configure, in addition to "no ip domain-lookup", etc. Everything works
fine with a default route and
subnets that are not in my routing table but part of the class of network
that I know of still take the
default route. (normal "ip classless" behavior). But, when I configure an
aggregate address under
BGP, I end up with a supernet route to null0. Now subnets that are not in
my routing table but
part of the supernet route go to null0. I consider this normal behavior,
just the wrong approach on
my part.

This is what makes me think that I should have taken the area-range
approach. But I still can't
get VLSM routes to summarize within the backbone area 0.

I also tried Brian's approach of placing the area range commands on each
router within area 0
(even though I thought the command only applied to the ABRs) and it still
didn't work for me.
Has anyone actually seen this work, and possibly have working configs?

Thanks --
Cheryl Richardson
