There are three methods I can think of.

1. As noted, change the ip ospf interface type on the loopback
2. Create an area range for the area in question
3. redistribute connected

HTH,

Scott

        Loopbacks are adv as stub networks (/32) the way to change this
is to use under the int loop 601 Ip os net type point-to-point

nat

Hi Guys,

Hope everyone in the US has power now :)

One very quick one. Why does OSPF advertise loopbacks with a /32 bit
mask, if the loopback is configured as a network ie,

int lo 601
ip address network 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0

many thx, and I hope someone alse has seen this.

Kind regards,
Ken
