summary-address summarizes going into ospf, not out

if you looked at his config, the 135.1.20.0/22 subnet originated in ospf,
so the summary-address would not be advertised to igrp

since R4 is an ASBR, you need to summarize to a /24 by creating a second
ospf process and redistributing it into and using the summary-address
command on the first process
