   I have to draw a conclusion after I tried the following lab.
   Summary-address in ospf can only summarize "external routes" at ASBR.
   In other words, it applies to routes from other routing protocols,
   redistributed connected, and redistributed static routes, but NOT on
   internally learned OSPF routes.
   
   Pls review !
   
   I have:
   
   other ospf routers --- area 5 --- RouterF --- 132.3.10.0/24 (RIP) ---
   Gateway
   
   RouterF is connected to other ospf routers and it tries to summarize
   three IA OSPF routes learned from other ospf routers when
   redistributing OSPF into RIP router Gateway:
   
   132.3.3.32/30 , 132.3.3.17/32 and 132.3.3.1/32
   
   into 132.3.3.0/24
   
   RouterF#sh ip rou ospf
   
   132.3.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 10 subnets, 4 masks
   
   O 132.3.5.1/32 [110/26] via 132.3.5.17, 00:09:18, TokenRing0
   
   O IA 132.3.3.1/32 [110/90] via 132.3.5.17, 00:07:13, TokenRing0
   
   O IA 132.3.3.17/32 [110/154] via 132.3.5.17, 00:07:13, TokenRing0
   
   O IA 132.3.3.32/30 [110/153] via 132.3.5.17, 00:07:13, TokenRing0
   
   
   interface Serial0
   
   ip address 132.3.10.2 255.255.255.0
   
   no ip mroute-cache
   
   clockrate 500000
   
   router ospf 1
   
   summary-address 132.3.3.0 255.255.255.0
   
   network 132.3.5.16 0.0.0.7 area 5
   
   
   router rip
   
   redistribute ospf 1
   
   passive-interface Loopback0
   
   network 132.3.0.0
   
   default-metric 4
   
   
   However, RIP router Gateway can NOT receive 132.3.3.0/24
   
   Gateway#sh ip rou rip
   
   132.3.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 6 subnets, 2 masks
   
   R 132.3.5.1/32 [120/4] via 132.3.10.2, 00:00:07, Serial0
   
   R 132.3.3.1/32 [120/4] via 132.3.10.2, 00:00:07, Serial0
   
   R 132.3.3.17/32 [120/4] via 132.3.10.2, 00:00:07, Serial0
   
   
   interface Serial0
   
   ip address 132.3.10.1 255.255.255.0
   
   !
   
   router rip
   
   network 132.3.0.0
