Well, yes and no. The purpose of the route to null0 is to prevent route
black-holing. Basically with this route in the table, if the router does not
have a more specific route, it will route the packet to a bit bucket. If you
don't have the route to null0 and you do have a default route you'll have a
lot of packets following your default route out into the wilderness.
By filtering it out, you do raise this as a problem. However, other routers
running EIGRP will still learn about the summary (same applies for OSPF) and
in that way it's functioning correctly.
I guess you can look at this in a couple of ways....real world, I'd say
definitely keep the summary to null0 in the table. Saves all sorts of grief.
In a lab environment do whatever it takes to get the situation working and
meet the requirements. Going back to your idea about not having the summary
point to null0, it can't be done automatically.

ok if you do this aren't you defeating the whole purpose of the summary?
I think the idea is to pass the summary but not have it point to Null 0

Hi Luke,
From my experience it's quite simple
access-l 1 deny 172.16.0.0 0.0.0.0
access-l 1 permit any
router eigrp 10
distribute-list 1 in null0
That usually works for me, let me know how you go.
Regards,
Lachlan

Ok,
Here is a scenario that a friend told me about and I just don't get... maybe
I lack the right amount of brain cells so forgive me =)
tokyo ------- ether0 -----------------ether 0 ------------------ sydney
tokyo is running EIGRP with about 4 loopbacks 172.16.1.0, 172.16.2.0,
172.3.0, 172.4.0
Sydney is running OSPF and EIGRP. I was told to allow 172.16.0.0 ( a
summary net) into OSPF without the routing procotols generating a route to
Null 0.
Ok, so I do a summary for eigrp on interface ether 0 in Tokyo. Do a show ip
route and I see 172.16.0.0 pointing to null 0 (as it should).
How do I get rid of the null 0? I don't think this is possible.
Could someone shed some light into this? This is crazy...
Luke
