I posted this message last week in the lab mailing list, but no one seemed to have any insight into it, so given that I know there are a number of knowledgable people on this list as well, I wanted to through it out to you also: This has been discussed in a previous thread but I wanted to open a new one to see if anyone very knowledgable about the subject could chime in. From my reading of the OSPF RFC (page 24 to be specific) it appears that the intention of the forwarding address field in LSA type 5's is to allow you to specify that a certain advertised external network should be reached through a separate router than the ASBR (similar to what you can do with BGP's next-hop). The question I have is how can you modify this on a Cisco ASBR, or is it not allowed? My best guess would be to use a route-map but I have found no appropriate 'set' command. I attempted using 'set ip next-hop' but that did not change the forwarding address from the default 0.0.0.0, and I assume is only meant for BGP use? Any insight would be great. _________________________________ FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
