Now, OSPF is a link state protocol. So filtering routes from the route table
doesn't filter them from the Link state database.

 

It impacts the local router but doesn't impact the overall domain until a
packet hits that local router - would that be correct?

 

So the neighbors getting updates on that particular route that you've filter
from your local route table through a distribute list would still get the
LSA even if that local router wasn't putting the route in its route table.

 

My example is this: I'm told in the practice lab to prefer the RIP routes
('prefer' I'm learning should automatically mean 'ADMINISTRATIVE DISTANCE')
for some particular routes over the OSPF routes.

 

Here is what I did:

 

R5(config-router)#do sho run | s access-list

ip access-list standard FilterOSPF

 deny   100.0.0.36

 deny   100.0.0.37

 deny   100.0.0.38

 deny   100.0.0.35

 deny   140.10.124.0 0.0.0.255

 deny   140.10.134.0 0.0.0.255

 deny   140.10.112.0 0.0.3.255

 permit any

 

This provided me with the end goal:

 

R5(config-router)#do sho ip route rip

     100.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 12 subnets

R       100.0.0.36 [120/4] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

R       100.0.0.37 [120/2] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

R       100.0.0.38 [120/3] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

R       100.0.0.35 [120/1] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

     140.10.0.0/16 is variably subnetted, 17 subnets, 4 masks

R       140.10.134.0/24 [120/2] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

R       140.10.112.0/24 [120/1] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

R       140.10.113.0/24 [120/1] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

R       140.10.124.0/24 [120/3] via 140.11.5.1, 00:00:04, FastEthernet0/0

 

The proctor guide says that I should have changed the admin distance for
those route entries to something lower than OSPF (109). I think that's
probably better but would my solution have gotten me the points for the
task?

 

Ugh.test is next week. I'm learning - slowly that is VERY important to
actually read the lab. =-)
