Good point! He has to do something of that sort. Redistributing the static route should work. Other methods would work too, if we knew more about his OSPF network. Theoretically, Router B is an ASBR. Can't an ABR advertise an ASBR Summary LSA to let the rest of the OSPF network know about the ASBR? Or the ASBR itself can advertise an AS External Link. Am I getting way too weird here? ;-) _______________________________ Priscilla Oppenheimer www.troubleshootingnetworks.com www.priscilla.com > > Symon > > -----Original Message----- > From: Priscilla Oppenheimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 25 September 2002 19:53 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: Simple static route redistribution [7:54040] > > > evans Anthony wrote: > > > > Hi all, > > > > Just a quick question: > > > > I have the following setup: (a)----(b)---OSPF network > > > > Router A (extreme L3 switch) is connected to router B, and > router B is > > > running ospf to other cisco boxes.
