It occurs to me that there is another answer to this problem. So as a Friday Follies question: what is the other answer I came up with?
Remember, the IGRP domain is /28 the OSPF domain contains routes /27 and shorter. You must assure reachability to all interfaces in the OSPF domain. You are not allowed to use a default network or any static routes to attain this end. for extra credit - make it funny. I will be needing a good laugh after the dentist is through with me this afternoon. :-O Chuck -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chuck Larrieu Sent: Wednesday, December 12, 2001 7:56 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: The old "how to get routes into IGRP" question again - possible [7:29021] (REPOST) I've been fighting with one of my practice labs the last couple of days. The problem is one of those OSPF to IGRP redistribution with a twist. The IGRP domain is /28. So how to get those shorter /24 prefixes advertised. Oh yeah, you can't use the default-network command to create an IGRP default route. So let me offer this possibility. IP local policy route-map the route map then goes something like this: route-map igrp-default permit 10 set default interface [whatever the interface is] I also suspect that set ip default next-hop x.x.x.x works also, but at the time I was testing I hadn't thought through all the implications, and my test failed. In any case, the local policy would have to be implemented on all routers in the IGRP domain. A bit of planning, then, is required. I found out something else that was interesting. Local policy packets seem to have a particular way they are constructed. the first time I looked at my debug ip packet, the source address was one of my loopback addresses, which I was not advertising under IGRP. So of course my pings failed, because the distant end did not have a route back. So I deleted the loopback, tried again, and this time the source address was a LAN interface, this too not advertised under IGRP. I am assuming that Cisco has a hierarchy of interfaces. Usually a ping is sourced at the interface out which the packets are headed. But for local policy, it was different. Any case, I am offering these observations for consideration. Wish I hadn't turned my routers off last night. Or I could gather some screen shots.
