Hi, Joe, this is probably more specific to you since it was you who wrote the blog post :) I have tried duplicating the lab scenario and ran into a few things.
One is when i redistribute a route on R6 to R5 (both areas being NSSA's). In your post you did a: "R5(config-router)#do sh ip route | i 7.7.7.7 O N2 7.7.7.7 [110/20] via 56.56.56.6, 00:00:01, FastEthernet0/0.56" In my lab i get two N2 routes, i assume its because R6 sends out an NSSA in each area, and they are with the same cost. The other issue i saw was with the forwarding address. In your post, you seem to get the lowest forwarding address used in the type 5 created by R5. As another reader commented about, the issue on which forwarding address R5 chooses, i experience as well. It seems kind of random to me. i tried create some different loopbacks on R6 and advertise them into their respective areas, and even after reloading the OSPF process on R5, its not consistently the lowest one (keep in mind that the metric is exactly the same). I was wondering if you have any thoughts on this? Sincerely, Kim -- // Freedom Matters // Follow my progress on http://kpjungle.wordpress.com
