Nigel,
        The /32 route generated from the "peer neighbor-route" command
and the /32 generated from the OSPF point-to-multipoint network type
have nothing to do with each other.

Here is part of an earlier e-mail I sent about the peer neighbor-route
command:

<quote>
The "peer neighbor-route" command is normally used for unnumbered IP
links. If a link is unnumbered, a route will be needed in order to
reach the remote side's IP address. This "peer neighbor-route" command
is how a route to the remote end is created. If you disable the "peer
neighbor-route" command on an unnumbered link, a static route will
normally be needed to reach the remote end.

For someone to get an understanding of the "peer neighbor-route" command
and how it's used in a real network, try enabling PPP on a serial link
between two routers. Use IP unnumbered for the serial addressing based
off of each respective router's loopback interface. Then ping the
remote end's loopback. Now do the "no peer neighbor-route" command on
each side of the link and 'bounce' (shut/no shut) the interface. Try to
ping the remote end's loopback to see the benefit of having the "peer
neighbor-route" command enabled.

As far as the /32 from OSPF when using the point-to-multipoint network
type, here is the section of the RFC that explains it:

<rfc2328>
12.4.1.4. Describing Point-to-MultiPoint interfaces

   For operational Point-to-MultiPoint interfaces, one or
   more link descriptions are added to the router-LSA as
   follows:

   o A single Type 3 link (stub network) is added with
       Link ID set to the router's own IP interface
       address, Link Data set to the mask 0xffffffff
      (indicating a host route), and cost set to 0.

</rfc2328>

A1. I've not tried it but ip think 'no peer neighbor-route' may remove
it.

A2. I don't believe it is -

1!" when i enable ospf on the frame-relay interface,and the interface
use
   "ip ospf network p2mp" ,it will generate the interface address as a
/32
    route in routing table , how to get rid of it?

2!"is IPSEC include in the R&S lab ?
