OSPF and IGRP redistribution question

Area Range: This command create a summary on ABRs into the ospf cloud

summary-address: this command you can use at ASBRs to create a summarized
                 network entry into the ospf cloud to keep the routing table
                         smaller.

default-network: works only if the default network is in another classfull
network and
                 this network must be configured local on the
router.Otherwise IOS create
                         a static route entry in your config and delete the def
ault-network
                         statement.

                 For those guys who think lets make a loopback, i try it out
but did not
                         help.-((

Keep in mind those commands create only summarys into ospf and not outside
into another
routing domain. If your hole network is addressed in the same classful major
network for
example 172.17.59.X, igrp sees only class B network 172.17.x.x/16. If your
link between
the igrp and the igrp/ospf router have a mask of /30 you will never receive
other
routing updates than /30.

So if you ask, how i can connect other networks e.g. /24, thats from my
point of
view not possible whitout static route, because igrp dont know masks and
VLSM.
May you try tunnel interfaces or secondary addresses, not possible due
overlapping
address ranges on the same router.

Thats my point of view but if somebody have a solution, plese tell me how!!!

Louis

This question is answered in the archives (many times). To give you a
start - when you redistribute OSPF into IGRP the routes you will see on
the IGRP router are classful routes, routes having the same mask as the
IGRP-OSPF connected network, and host routes.

If you can summarize OSPF routes (area range) to a classful network, or
a network having the same mask as the IGRP-OSPF connection, these will
appear in the IGRP routing table. Other routes won't. The
default-network command is used to provide a default gateway to IGRP for
connectivity but will not put additional networks in the table.

Hope this helps you to get started.
