Give an example of the IP addresses. What is the IP address of the
interface participating in RIP, and what are the loopback addresses and
masks?

~Guy,
~I'm not exactly sure what you are asking but OSPF and RIP are
~both using
~different masks. Doyle says that the way to fix this (739 #2)
~is by using a
~static route of the interface with the RIP mask on the
~redistributing router
~so that RIP thinks that these subnets are directly connected,
~but I can't
~seem to get that working
