OSPF point-to-multipoint 32 mask [7:56136]

2002-10-23 Thread ccie ccielab
I configure point-to-multipoint on serial int and the /32 mask show up

R1
int s0
ip add 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
ip ospf net point-to-multi
!
router ospf 1
net 172.16.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0

similar to ccbootcamp lab 5 , but how to summary those serial to other
protocol ?
area 0 range 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 area not working on ABR either

/32 mask always shows up under the "show interface" commands despite the
actual netmask.  I'm not sure what you're asking in the other question.

CL: yes - that's the way it is supposed to work. see rfc 2328 for details.

CL:  well, area 0 range is an illegal command. you may be able to enter it,
but it does nothing. the area range command is design to summarize non
backbone routes into the backbone. if you think aout it, there is probably
not a real good reaso for backbone routes to be summarized

I use the area 0 range blah blah command (without the "area" at the end, if
that was supposed to be part of the command above), and it certainly doesn't
do nothing.  As far as I've seen, it works in exactly the same way as area
anything else range blah blah.
Why not summarise backbone routes for the same reasons as summarising
non-backbone routes - reduce routing tables, database sizes, route change
propagations etc?

All right, Miss Smarty Pants. I don't know what IOS versions you use / have
been using, but I have been through this song and dance with OSPF area 0
summarization, or lack thereof for a while now. I have yet to see it work.

Seriously, Jen, you know I respect your wisdom and value your advice. I am
absolutely certain that I have never successfuly summarized area 0 routes
over a couple of years of lab rat living. The following is from my current
study pod, and the IOS version is 12.1.5T10.

First, router 1 configurations. There are a number of loopbacks,containing
the route addresses in question.

router ospf 123
 log-adjacency-changes
 area 0 range 100.100.0.0 255.255.240.0
 redistribute rip subnets route-map rip2ospf
 network 99.99.99.1 0.0.0.0 area 51
 network 100.100.0.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 100.100.1.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 100.100.2.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 100.100.3.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 100.100.4.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 100.100.5.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 100.100.6.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 100.100.7.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 network 160.160.255.0 0.0.0.255 area 0

note the summary in the R1 routing table:

Gateway of last resort is not set

 100.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 9 subnets, 2 masks
O   100.100.0.0/20 is a summary, 00:11:57, Null0

now observe router 2's table:

 100.0.0.0/24 is subnetted, 8 subnets
O   100.100.0.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:53, TokenRing0
O   100.100.1.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:53, TokenRing0
O   100.100.2.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:53, TokenRing0
O   100.100.3.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:53, TokenRing0
O   100.100.4.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:53, TokenRing0
O   100.100.5.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:53, TokenRing0
O   100.100.6.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:54, TokenRing0
O   100.100.7.0 [110/26] via 160.160.255.1, 00:12:54, TokenRing0
 99.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets

This has remained constant through several reconfigurations and several ospf
process resets.

It also remain true even if on R1 I use a more generic network 100.100.0.0
0.0.255.255 area 0 command.

So

I stand by my statement that even though you may be able to enter the
commands, the fact is that you cannot summarize area 0 routes on a cisco
router, at least not that I've been able to figure out.. My position is
further supported by the Cisco documentation, which states "The area range
command is used only with area border routers (ABRs). It is used to
consolidate or summarize routes for an area. The result is that a single
summary route is advertised to other areas by the ABR. Routing information
is condensed at area boundaries."

http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/ip_r
/iprprt2/1rdospf.htm#xtocid4
watch the wrap

Of course, I am ready to learn something new, if you've got a trick I have
yet to learn.



> Why not summarise backbone routes for the same reasons as summarising

> propagations etc?

In regards to the wisdom of summarizing backbone routes in an OSPF network,
while I was pondering your response, I went through a few ideas, and I see
where it "might" be advantageous.. I still believe that generally speaking,
one would want all backbone routes to be visible throughout the backbone  to
allow for uninterrupted routing should one or more backbone routers fail.
This assuming a redundant backbone design.

I can't located specifics in the RFC, but I "suspect" that Mr. Moy is of
similar mind.


with all respects

Chuck

JMcL: I'm not quite clear on your setup.  Pick me up if I go wrong here.
R1 and R2 are connected by 160.160.255.0/24, yes?
160.160.255.0/24 is in area 0, yes?
So R2 is also in area 0, yes?
So why are you expecting that the backbone routes will have been
summarised?  You haven't left the backbone yet - you haven't crossed an area
boundary (referring to the quote below).
What happens if you connect R1 and R2 by a non-backbone link?

Sorry - how does this say that you can't summarise in either direction?  I
don't see how it backs up your position.

mm...

OK, we'll chalk this one off as a failure to communicate.

the original post called for

"similar to ccbootcamp lab 5 , but how to summary those serial to other
protocol ?
area 0 range 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 area not working on ABR either "

which I took to mean summarizing area 0 routes to other area 0 routers and
ultimately into an external protocol. which of course cannot be done.

obviously, you are talking about summarizing area 0 routes into a non-zero
area, which of course, does work just fine.

Ahhh.. I was wondering if we were talking at cross purposes.  It seemed like
a very strange position for you to be taking otherwise!
