Hi all

Why are loopbacks advertised as /32 host routes in OSPF?

*A. *Loopbacks are considered host routes in OSPF, and they are advertised
as /32. For more information, refer to section 9.1 of RFC
2328<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2328.txt> [image:
leavingcisco.com]. In Cisco IOS Software Releases 11.3T and 12.0, if the *ip
ospf network point-to-point* command is configured under loopbacks, OSPF
advertises the loopback subnet as the actual subnet configured on loopbacks.
ISDN dialer interface advertises /32 subnet instead of its configured subnet
mask. This is an expected behavior if *ip ospf network
point-to-multipoint*is configured.




This statement is applicable only when the loopback address is not
configured with subnet mask of 255.255.255.255, right?



With regards
Kings
