hi all, have a problem that has been nagging at me for a good long time now... say you have a pair of ABRs sitting at an OSPF area boundary, and an ASBR is originating Type-5 LSAs from inside the non-backbone area. Is there an easy way to suppress the propagation of the type-5s outside the area? I would have a range statement on the ABRs to advertise the area aggregate, I just want to suppress the more specifics. I have tried using 'distribute-list out ' which would do it for me, but for some reason IOS won't allow this with OSPF: router(config)#router os 1 router(config-router)#distribute-list 1 out FastEthernet 0/0 % Interface not allowed with OUT for OSPF router(config-router)# I suppose that allowing this could potentially screw up routing if done without some care, but JunOS lets you do exactly this sort of thing - you can produce some wacky policies, but at least you have the option ;-) btw - I know I could prolly do this with multiple OSPF instances and redistribute between them, but I *really* don't want to get into this level of complexity. thanks in advance - this one has been driving me mad Andy Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=12189&t=12189 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
