Does the C2 have any options for redistribute static such as subnet?  This is 
required on some of our products when the static route is not a class route.



Have a great day!

Nick,

I may be remembering wrong, and if I am hopefully someone will correct me, but 
I believe when you redistribute a static route into ospf by default it is a 
type 2 external route.  If your supernetted route is part of the OSPF cloud, it 
would be considered an internal route and therefore get higher priority and be 
placed into the routing table.  On your N7 connected to the other compa�����s 
network, you can add that vlan interface into the OSPF area (making it an 
internal route) and then make it a passive interface to keep from sending or 
receiving OSPF updates.  If ����m understanding your description correctly that 
should solve your issue.

Subject: [enterasys] OSPF issue...

Hi,

We've got 3 routers (2 x N7's + 1 x C2 with routing license on) on 3 sites (1 
on each site) connected in a triangle.

They are all part of an OSPF area and this works great.

We use 10.111.0.0/16 for our data VLAN at 1 site and 10.131.0.0/16 for our 
voice VLAN at that same site.
We use 10.112.0.0/16 for our data VLAN at the 2nd site and 10.132.0.0/16 for 
our voice VLAN at that same site.
We use 10.113.0.0/16 for our data VLAN at the 3rd site and 10.133.0.0/16 for 
our voice VLAN at that same site.

All those routes propogate round the routers via OSPF just fine.

We also have a supernetted catch-all route of 10.0.0.0/8 which goes via a 
gateway on the 10.111 network which hooks us into our worldwide VPN.
Since our other Worldwide sites which are accessibe via the VPN also all use 
10.x.x.x/16 subnets, this supernet saves us having to configure all those 
routes locally individually - we essentially just pass everything that's begins 
with a 10 that's not local, to the VPN gateway to worry about - that works fine.

That 10.0.0.0/8 route also propogates just fine round all 3 routers.

However, the problem is, we have a VLAN on the 2nd site which connects the N7 
at that site to another company's network.
Their network is outside of the OSPF area (in fact we only have one connection 
to it anyway) and is on Cisco kit.

The numbering of their network is 10.130.0.0/16 and I can't get that route to 
propogate around the OSPF network.
Is it possible that the existence of the 10.0.0.0/8 route is what's preventing 
the 10.130.0.0/16 route being propogated?

I've tried removing and re-adding the route and redistributing the routes 
(redistribute static) but it won't go.
It just doesn't show up in the "show ip ospf database" even on the router where 
the route is defined - which is obvioulsy why it'll never propogate.
I tried adding a 192.168.80.0/24 network just to check propogation and that one 
works just fine, so can't see why this one won't unless the supernet is the 
cause.

I know this has nothing to do with the cisco kit as we also route to other 
networks on that 3rd party site just fine although these don't begin with a 10.

Hope this is clear enough and that someone can explain what's (not) happening 
and how we can address it!

Thanks in advance.

Nick.
