summary-address in ospf and redistribution

Hi All,

I ran across a practice lab and another fat-kid lab that use the ospf
summary-address to overcome
vlsm to fsm issues when redistributing ospf into igrp:

situation: The ospf connected interface has a longer mask than the IGRP
connected interface.
                area-range does not work because it is on the same router.

          The Fatkid lab - expert redistribution - solves this with a summary-a
ddress.

Question - does this not inject E2 routes back into your OSPF domain?

OSPF area 2
170.10.128.4 - 255.255.255.192
|
|
|
R4 -----------IGRP - 170.10.2.4 255.255.255.0

To redistribute the ospf interface into IGRP a summary-address is
used: summary-address 170.10.128.0 255.255.255.0

But then in the ospf domain you get an E2 route to 170.10.128.0 in your
ospf domain.

So how do you prevent this E2 route into OSPF - can you filter it?

Thoughts?

remember - no static, no default.
