You need to put ip ospf network point-to-point. under the loopback interf.

Subject: OSPF route propagation with Loopback interfaces

I am doing a lab that calls for multiple Eth. Interfaces; however, I
only have 2501's. So I substituted the Eth. Interface(s) with a
Loopback0 interface and assigned it the following:

R2
interface Loopback0
 ip address 152.1.1.129 255.255.255.192

My question is that the route shows up as a / 26 on the connected
router, but show up as a /32 route on the neighboring router:

r2#sh ip ro 152.1.1.129
Routing entry for 152.1.1.128/26
  Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected, via interface)
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * directly connected, via Loopback0
      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

R3 (neighbor)

r3#sh ip ro 152.1.1.129
Routing entry for 152.1.1.129/32
  Known via "ospf 1", distance 110, metric 11, type intra area
  Last update from 152.1.1.1 on Ethernet0, 00:24:25 ago
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * 152.1.1.1, from 192.1.1.2, 00:24:25 ago, via Ethernet0
     Route metric is 11, traffic share count is 1

Is this normal activity for loopback interfaces or can I rectify the
situation? I will have to do this for several labs and was looking for
a workaround.
