I thought I had discovered a way to do this but it didn't work, either. It was a variation of the tunnel technique except the tunnel is in a completely different classful network. For example...
A----(igrp)-----B The link is 172.16.1.0/28. I create a tunnel that is 4.0.0.1/8. On B, I configure both networks in IGRP. I was hoping that B would send a 172.16.0.0/16 summary back to A, which it does, but A ignores it and I could never figure out why. I wonder if that strange behavior earlier with split horizon might come into play here? There just *has* to be a way to get A to accept the summary route from B over the 4/8 tunnel. Any thoughts there? John BTW, if I marked the calendar every time I was wrong there'd be no room left on the calendar! :-) ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ---- On Wed, 19 Dec 2001, Chuck Larrieu ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > that reminds me... > > mark this date on your calendars, everyone.
