Benny,
Without the 'ip ospf network point-to-point' statement on the loopback
interfaces, OSPF treats loopback interface as a stub network and therefore
you will see the address as x.x.x.x/32 (host route). Hence the:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------
R1 routing table:
172.16.0.0/32 is subnetted, 2 subnets
O IA 172.16.1.1 [110/11] via 150.50.7.6, 01:03:20, Ethernet0
O IA 172.16.2.1 [110/11] via 150.50.7.6, 01:03:20, Ethernet0
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------
So, you should configure:
Inter lo0
Ip adder x.x.x.x 255.255.255.0
'ip ospf network point-to-point'
inter lo1
Ip adder y.y.y.y 255.255.255.0
'ip ospf network point-to-point'
Hope this helps
Bashir

Subject: OSPF --- subnet mask of IA routes
Hi,
R1 and R2 in area 0, R2 has 2 loopback interface with ip address
172.16.1.1/24 and 172.16.2.1/24. I don't understand when R1 learned about
this two loopback interfaces, it doesn't learn the network 172.16.1.0/24 and
172.16.2.0/24, but it learns 172.16.1.1 and 172.16.2.1 instead? I use
'network 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 4' and 'network 172.16.2.0 0.0.0.255 area
4) on R2.
R1----------R2 (lo1 and lo2 area 4)
area 0
The question require that R1 learns these two subnets with a /24 mask, and
the solution require configure 'ip ospf network point-to-point' under the
two loopback interfaces in R2. Can someone kindly explain to me? Thanks a
lot!
Benny
