Exactly - but if you specify the OSPF network type on the interface the
mask will be sent - else put the loopback interface into a new area and
use an area range command

No matter what mask you provided for loopback, it will consider it is a
/32 network address.

Hi,

Late in on this one, but the point to point network types advertises the
actual mask as I understand it and not the default /32

My understanding is that:
Check the ospf database, for loopback, OSPF treat it as a stub network,
and so the network mask is 255.255.255.255.
If i can the network type to point-to-point, ospf will treat it as a
transit network, then the network mask sets according to the interface's
network mask.

Steve

Hello Group,

Is there any explanation why when I set the interface loopback 0 as a
"ip ospf network point-to-point":

Rack1R2(config)#int lo0
Rack1R2(config-if)#ip ospf network point-to-point

It is being learned as a /24 instead a /32:

     150.1.0.0/24 is subnetted, 2 subnets
O 150.1.2.0 [110/65] via 163.1.12.2, 00:00:05, Serial0/3/0
Rack1R1#

I mean which caracteristic of the point-to-point network make it is
being shown as a /24 ?

Regards
