Devender,
I agree with you completly on this, This is the way i plan to distribute /28
to /24 on asbr from ospf to rip or igrp, But i have heard through couple of
guys that it is makred as modifying ospf database hence lost points, I
seriously hope someone would tell us the correct way of doing this.
