A loopback address *if it is included directly as an interface* under protocols OSPF is expected to be visible as a stub network within a router LSA. How are your loopbacks configured? (If your loopbacks are *redistributed* into OSPF, they will of course appear as External LSAs.) > Also, how do people typically deal with the differences in Administrative > Distance values between Juniper and Cisco? The actual numeric values aren't really that important, the relative ordering is. Our experience is that both Juniper and Cisco have fairly sane values for their administrative distances. On Cisco you probably want to change your BGP admin distances such that both EBGP and IBGP are at 200 - this is best practice and is recommended in a number of Cisco presentations. If you run MPLS you may need to change the admin distance for either LDP or RSVP, depending on your choice. We ended up changing LDP on our Junipers to have better preference than RSVP (and converting our RSVP explicit LSPs to LDP based implicit LSPs), to have one commom protocol for our Juniper and our Cisco routers.
