Actually, you are right. Define the networks within the NLSP area. I do not
know why I thought it was used for summarization. I normally just do an
area-address 00 but then I have never had more then one NLSP area on a
router so I have not had a need to use it.

Well, gee I guess you could have just done that in the first place.

However, the reason I say it is used to summarize is because you can simply
say

area-address 00

and it will include all IPX networks that are defined using nslp enable on
the interface. Therefore the area-address command is really used to
sumarrize those address on NLSP enabled interfaces. Therefore what other
purpose would area-address serve if you simply enable NLSP or define NLSP by
using nlsp enable under the interface. Area-address is used to SUMMARIZE.

xtocid148655BM_28482BM_1018265Directly from the Doc CD

BM_27290area-address

To define a set of network numbers to be part of the current NetWare
Link-Services Protocol (NLSP) area, use the area-address command in router
configuration mode. To remove a set of network numbers from the current NLSP
area, use the no form of this command.BM_1018267

I believe it is really just a tool for aggregating or summarizing NLSP
networks, not defining them.

Running thought some testing the other night and I defined a network between

two routers, network 22. The router had a couple of other networks off other

interfaces involved in IPX RIP processes.

I then added the area-address command to define an exact match, area-address

22 FFFFFFFF.

Guess what, the 22 network appeared as an N route but so did all of the
other attached interfaces that were different networks?

What the heck is going on? I thought the area-address command defined which
networks were part of the routing process like OSPF?

Can anyone help me?
