Re: Summarization problem

You can not summarize external (here EIGRP) routes with the area range command.
You have to use summary-address under router ospf.

        ALL,
        
        I just got a weird one. I dunno if it's IOS related or not, anyway,
        here's the topology.
        
        R1 -- OSPF (Area 0) -- R2 -- OSPF (Area 3 NSSA) --- R3 --- EIGRP -- R4
        
        I have 3 EIGRP networks that are being injected into R3 from R4
        (20.2.0.0/16, 20.3.0.0/16 & 20.4.0.0/16), and I can see them all at R2
        as O N2 routes. I want to summarzie them before they are injected into
        Area 0. So I use the "area 3 range" command at R2 (NSSA ABR & Area 0
        ABR)
        
        
        router ospf 1
         log-adjacency-changes
         area 3 nssa
         area 3 range 20.0.0.0 255.248.0.0
         network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 3
         network 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 0
        
        But then when I checked the Routing Table at R1, all those 20.x.0.0
        routes still appears as their own routes, and the summary route
        (20.0.0.0/13) aren't even there.
        
        R1#sh ip route
        Codes: C - connected, S - static, I - IGRP, R - RIP, M - mobile, B -
        BGP
               D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
               N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
               E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2, E - EGP
               i - IS-IS, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2, ia - IS-IS
        inter area
               * - candidate default, U - per-user static route, o - ODR
               P - periodic downloaded static route
        
        Gateway of last resort is not set
        
             20.0.0.0/16 is subnetted, 3 subnets
        O E2 20.4.0.0 [110/20] via 192.168.1.1, 00:49:03, Serial0

        O E2 10.1.1.4 [110/20] via 192.168.1.1, 00:49:27, Serial0

        Another funny stuff I found is when I used "show ip ospf" on R2, it has
        a "passive advertise" that I haven't seen before. Does it mean
        anything?
