Ohio,

On R3 summarised route entry from R4

140.140.0.0/22 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA 140.140.0.0 [110/65] via 116.16.34.4

116.16.34.4 = R4's directly connected int/IPadd

On R4 -

!
router ospf 1
 no discard-route internal <-- removes null
~ cut ~
 network 140.140.1.0 0.0.0.255 area 30 Summarised
 network 140.140.2.0 0.0.0.255 area 30 "
 network 140.140.3.0 0.0.0.255 area 30 "
!

Networks 140.140.1-3 summarised into /22 (exact
summary). As per snippet from R3.

Q) Are all you routes EXACT summaries?

rgds,
Sage
