Raj,

Don't know if this is any help but I got this from:

http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/9.html#QB

It reads:
Q: Why are loopbacks advertised as /32 host routes in OSPF?
A: Loopbacks are considered host routes in OSPF, and they're advertised as
/32. For more information, see section 9.1 of RFC 2328. In Cisco IOS .
version 11.3T and 12.0, if the ip ospf network point-to-point command is
configured under loopbacks, then OSPF advertises the loopback subnet as the
actual subnet configured on loopbacks

It may be something to do with point to multipoint...

All the best,
Malcolm

Hi Group,

I've racked my brains but I am still unable to work out why the
109.1.44.0/29 subnet which operates over the frame-relay cloud shows up as
/32 routes for the each spoke.

Both router 2 and router 3 also have "ip ospf network point-to-multipoint"
configured.

Is it something to do with the "point-to-multipoint" ?
