In this particular lab static routes were forbidden. It was an OSPF lab and one of the instructions was to configure summarization between areas. The Hints section was there to prompt us on different ways this might be accomplished. Since it's a training lab they're trying to make us think of different ways to do the same thing in case some of them are not allowed in the actual lab exam.
John >>> Jim Dixon 10/22/01 10:17:23 AM >>> I was thinking of using an ACL with Distribute List. Your paragraph states that the solutions must work with any router and any protocol. Static Routes would be my first choice here provided the lab directions didn't prevent this choice. What did the directions for the LAB state? Were there any that stated that you must not use a certain method for any questions in this particular lab? Why did the question begin asking about OSPF then ask if there were other ways to accomplish the same goal by using a non-protocol dependent, non-router platform dependent method? -----Original Message----- From: John Neiberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, October 22, 2001 10:14 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: OSPF Route Summarization Trick Question [7:23771] Yep, distribute-lists could work in conjuction with Jonathan's suggestion of redistributing a static route. I wanted to know how to suppress the more-specific subnets and a distribute list would work. It would be pretty unwieldy for more than a few routes but it definitely would work. Are you thinking of a method that uses only distribute lists without the static route? If so, let me know what you're thinking, I'd love to try it out. I know that would work in cases where, like in EIGRP, a classful supernet often resides in the routing table along with the more-specific subnets. A distribute list could be used to filter only the subnets. Thanks, John >>> Jim Dixon 10/22/01 9:10:00 AM >>> Hi John, What about Distribute lists?

I hope it's not too obvious or I'll be embarrassed. :-) While working on one of the Fatkid's labs I see the following in the Hints sections: 3. There are two built in OSPF methods to summarize OSPF routes. One way summaries between areas. The other summarizes between Autonomous Systems. Do you know a third way to summarize routes, which works for any router, running any routing protocol? How about a fourth? I was quite aware of the first two but I have no idea what the last two could be. I'm especially interested in the the method that works for any router running any routing protocol. I really have a feeling I'm going to kick myself when someone tells me what that is. Do any of you know what they're referring to?
