OSPF Summary 'range'

Please explain..

IPE Topo

R2(s0)-----R5(s0)

       |

       |R6(s1/0)

Router 5,6,7 share common Ethernet.

R2

s0 172.29.100.2/28

R5

s0 172.29.100.5/28

e0 172.29.200.5/25

R6

s0 172.29.100.5/28

e0 172.29.200.6/25

R7

e0 172.29.200.7/25

s0 172.29.78.1/30

I setup a summary-address on R5 'area 0 range 172.29.200.0 255.255.255.0'
but that summary address is not showing up on R2 or R6.

However, the summary address on R7 is showing up on R2:

r2#si ospf | inc 78.0

O IA 172.29.78.0/24 [112/138] via 172.29.100.5, 00:38:51, Serial0.100

r5#si ospf | inc Null

O 172.29.200.0/24 is a summary, 00:33:48, Null0

I guess my question is, why doesn't the summary from R5 propagate to R2, R6?
In redistribution (on R2 mutual RIP/OSPF) it appears that the only way to
get these routes into RIP as to assign

the 'range' on R2 like the solution advises. Assuming I got that summarized
172.29.200.0/24 route to R2, why would it not redist. That into OSPF?

Also, why is a Null0 route inserted on R5 and not on R7? If anyone has a
link to explain this, it would be much appreciated!
