Easiest way to do this without running OSPF on the CPE is to put a static route on the router at your end of the link, and redistribute the static route into OSPF. How are you getting the /30 into OSPF at the moment? If you are using a network statement make sure that you have set the customer interface as passive - the last thing you want is a customer tinkering with the router and injecting bad routes into your network. Alternatively you could redistribute connected routes into OSPF, removing the need for the network statement. -- Russell Heilling http://www.ccie.org.uk/ Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=54543&t=54540 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
