Hi,
is this only an exercise or you really need to do this? If the latter, then
I would be curious to know why this would be useful. I feel a slight
contradiction in that you can't control whether a /24 or two /25 routes
reach you yet you seem to know what is in one half versus the other half of
the /24 network and want to make some routing decision based on this
knowledge.
Anyway, to answer your question, the obvious solution is to point the two
/25 static routes towards where you learn the /24 route from, not to Null0.
If you have only one IGP peer, then simply point them towards it.
If you have multiple IGP peers, then it gets a bit ugly. You could create a
loopback address on the router where x.x.x.x/24 (or the two /25 networks)
is directly connected, advertise the loopback(s) through the same IGP
protocol which carries the x.x.x.x/24 route, and point the two /25 static
routes to the loopback address(es). Or (assuming the IGP is OSPF and
x.x.x.x/24 is in another area) you could use the loopback address of some
backbone routers (possibly creating multiple pairs of static routes, each
with different admin distance pointing to a different backbone router).
The main thing to note in either case is that if you ever, for any reason,
happen to advertise back these /25 routes towards where you learn the /24
route from, or if the router you pointed your static route to ever thinks
that your router is the best way to get to x.x.x.x/24, then you just
created a routing loop.
Btw, why is it that "the IGP will only send the /24 and not the two /25s"?
Getting the two /25s instead of the one /24 might be as easy as configuring
a secondary IP address on that interface or (selectively) disabling
summarization. This of course depends on your situation, so just something
to think about...
Thanks,
Zsombor
