RE: Ospf area range Command

Let me take a stab at this. The reason that the area range command is
used at the area border router is that it is summarizing the addresses
from one area to another area. Therefore, it will have no effect on the
advertisements within the same area as the routes being summarized.

In short, the area range function is working exactly the way it is
supposed to.

Subject: RE: Ospf area range Command

When I configure Ospf area range command, the specific addresses which I
have summarized are sent to the neighbor router within the same area?
This
behavior is revealed both when "....advertised" and ".....not
advertised" is
used with the "area range ...." command. Why? See config below

Router A
interface Loopback20
 ip address 10.0.0.1 255.255.0.0
 no ip directed-broadcast
!
interface Loopback21
 ip address 10.1.0.1 255.255.0.0
 no ip directed-broadcast
!
interface Loopback22
 ip address 10.2.0.1 255.255.0.0
 no ip directed-broadcast
!
interface Loopback23
 ip address 10.3.0.1 255.255.0.0
 no ip directed-broadcast

interface Loopback24
 ip address 10.4.0.1 255.255.0.0

area 192.168.10.0 range 10.0.0.0 255.248.0.0 not-advertise

Router B show ip route
