Hi group,

Rtr1, rtr2, and rtr3 are ospf backbone routers connected via f/r
172.16.123.0/29 with rtr2 as the hub.

rtr2 is also redistributing routes into igrp. Since igrp is classful, the
subnet 172.16.123.0/29 is being summarized into a /24 with the command, "area
0 range 172.16.123.0 255.255.255.0" on rtr1, rtr2 and rtr3.

On both rtr1 and rtr3, in the routing table there's the entry, o
172.16.123.0/24 is a summary ..... null 0",

however, there's no such entry on rtr2.

In addition, on rtr2, in the output of "show ip ospf" it has the following,

        Area Backbone (0)
        <text omitted>
        Area Ranges are
            172.16.123.0/24 Passive Advertise

Why is that? I want 172.16.123.0/24 to be advertised. In fact,
172.16.123.0/24 is being summarized so that it can be redistributed into igrp.
Other subnets are being summarized and redistributed into igrp just fine.
What needs to be done so that 172.16.123.0/24 is not "Passive Advertise"?
I've been trying different things to fix this for hours, but without any
success. Please end my misery and confusion.

Thanks, Raj
