If you running newer IOS 12.0 and up you can use ip ospf network
point-to-point under loopback int. it will advertise it as /24. If you
running older version you can use area-range to advertise it as /24

                Hi,

                I've been looking for an answer to this and I can't seem to
find it. I =
                looked in the archives, Cisco website, Thomas book, ...

                I have a loopback with a mask of 32 and advertised on OSPF.
All other =
                OSPF routers were able to see this unicast address and put
it in the =
                routing table.

                I then changed the mask of the same loopback to 24, and made
the =
                appropiate "network..." change in OSPF. No OSPF router is
now putting =
                the loopback in the routing table but they do see the router
link for =
                the loopback's network in the OSPF database (LSA Type 1).

                I once heard that to make OSPF advertise a network mask on a
loopback =
                (other than 32) an additional command must be added. Does
any one have =
                any ideas?

                Thanks,
                Elver
