Hi,

Yes, you are right. I have just tested this problem and if you change the
network type ("ip ospf network point-to-point" under loopback) of the
loopbk, then it is advertised as a normal intf with the proper mask. You
need 12.0 or higher.

r1#sh ip os int loo1
Loopback1 is up, line protocol is up
Internet Address 130.3.0.17/28, Area 5
Process ID 3, Router ID 137.3.1.1, Network Type POINT_TO_POINT, Cost: 1
Transmit Delay is 1 sec, State POINT_TO_POINT,
Timer intervals configured, Hello 10, Dead 40, Wait 40, Retransmit 5
Hello due in 00:00:00
Neighbor Count is 0, Adjacent neighbor count is 0
Suppress hello for 0 neighbor(s)

r1#sh ip os int loo0
Loopback0 is up, line protocol is up
  Internet Address 130.3.1.1/32, Area 5
  Process ID 3, Router ID 137.3.1.1, Network Type LOOPBACK, Cost: 1
  Loopback interface is treated as a stub Host

Subject: Advertising loopbacks not as a /32

Earl's appraoch pretty much nails it.

but if ur allowed to use the loopbacks under an area ,then one thing i wanna
add is that ( although i need to confirm reading Don Slice's book) if you
change the loopback type to point to point,it will not be a candidate for
router id...just treated like a regular
interface....

I was considering this my option (for not having 12.0 router id cmd) to
manipulate which loopback gets selected as router id
rather than the highest loopback ip...Like i said ,my routers are powered
off for another month, so i can't confirm..Just my plan...

Cheers,Padhu

This rings a bell, I'm pretty sure 'ip ospf network point-to-point' does it,
but like Paul just stated, I don't think that was available until 11.3
When I had my home lab, I was running everything at 11.2(17), and I'm pretty
sure I got it to work by changing the ospf network type to broadcast. (Or
maybe it was non-broadcast with peer statements...)

someone mentioned you could change the network type with certain ios
versions 'ip ospf network....' Haven't tried it myself yet but look back a
few days and you'll find the post.
