By default a router will place the longest prefix configured on the incoming
interface to the routing updates received on that interface for classfull
routing protocols. The router assumes that the updates have the same prefix
as the longest prefix configured. This behaviour is normal.

Here is a bazzar example on IGRP which made me think that the Cisco IOS may
have some big holes somewhere. I'd welcome anyone who're familiar with IOS
bug report to let me know if they see this problem before.

I used 172.16.x.x address space, and under the interfaces/links I only
specify the last two octets of the IP address such as .12.0/24 (which means
172.16.12.0/24, and the specific address does not matter here). And "sec"
means secondary address configured for the interfaces/links.

    lo0 (R3) e0 ----- fa0/0 (R11) s2/1 ------ s2/1 (R12) lo0

 .15.0/24 .12.0/24 .11.0/25 .13.0/25
              .11.128/25 sec .14.0/24 sec

Every router runs IGRP 1 with one network statement 172.16.0.0 and here are
the routing tables on each router:

On R3:
   172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 4 subnets, 2 masks
C 172.16.11.128/25 is directly connected, Ethernet0
C 172.16.12.0/24 is directly connected, Ethernet0
I 172.16.14.0/25 [100/80225] via 172.16.12.11, 00:00:53, Ethernet0
C 172.16.15.0/24 is directly connected, Loopback2

Note: The only route passed over by IGRP is .14.0/25 which is the secondary
address on link between R11/R12 configured as .14.0/24!

On R11:
  172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 6 subnets, 2 masks
C 172.16.11.128/25 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
C 172.16.12.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet0/0
I 172.16.13.0/25 [100/80625] via 172.16.11.12, Serial2/1
C 172.16.14.0/24 is directly connected, Serial2/1
I 172.16.15.0/25 [100/610] via 172.16.12.3, FastEthernet0/0
C 172.16.11.0/25 is directly connected, Serial2/1

Note: This router sees every route from both sides except that the .15.0/24
network configured on R3's loopback is passed over as .15.0/25!!

On R12:
  172.16.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 5 subnets, 2 masks
I 172.16.11.128/25 [100/80135] via 172.16.11.11, Serial2/1
C 172.16.13.0/25 is directly connected, Loopback1
C 172.16.14.0/24 is directly connected, Serial2/1
I 172.16.15.0/25 [100/80635] via 172.16.11.11, Serial2/1
C 172.16.11.0/25 is directly connected, Serial2/1

Note: This guy gets the secondary network .11.128/25 configured on the
R3/R11 link correctly, and it also gets the .15.0/25 from R11! The .12.0/24
network did not get here from the .14.0/24 secondary address configured on
the serial lnk to R11.

Anyone has any clue what's going on here??? How can a /24 network be
advertised to the next IGRP router as a /25 network???? I've rebooted all
the routers just to make sure it's not some kind of trasient hicups of the
routers/IOS.

The concerned routers are
 R3: 2502 running IOS 11.2(18)
 R11: 3640 running IOS 12.1(1a)T1
 R12: 3640 running IOS 12.0(4)T

Thanks,

Walter

You can place a secondary address with a /25 on the serial int, it should
then advertise both /24 and /25 addresses. Give it a try, I know I've used
this technique the otherway around for making a poorly addressed VLSM to
FLSM topo work.

Hi, all,

I have searched high and low in the archive and can't seem to find anything
about it...

I have a question about IGRP route advertisement. We all know that the
advertisements from IGRP are only with the mask of the interface:

172.16.77.4/25--e0(R4)s0--172.16.66.4/24

R4 is running IGRP. Is there way so that the /25 subnet (e0) can be
advertised out interface s0 (on /24 subnet)? The other end of s0 is a
router running both IGRP and OSPF where redistribution occurs.

Thanks,

Rog
