what you are seeing is the expected behavior. you are asking the router to generate a type 3 summary for a type 1 lsa that doesn't exist for area 10 via the "area 10 range' command" (also, that is why it works when you add a /32 to loopback)
172.16/16 is an external route. If you want to generate a type 5 aggregate use summary-addr as Jon has pointed out. Else, leave static in place, redist static subnets but remove "area 10 range 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0" from ospf config. ./Randy _______________________________ > From: Shahab Vahabzadeh <[email protected]> >To: Jon Lewis <[email protected]> >Cc: nanog <[email protected]> >Sent: Saturday, July 20, 2013 12:55 PM >Subject: Re: OSPF and Forcing a Subnet > > >Dear Jon I have a mistake in my last email, there is a static route like >this: > >ip route 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0 10.20.76.12 > >but again it is redistributing > > >On Sun, Jul 21, 2013 at 12:22 AM, Jon Lewis <[email protected]> wrote: > >> You don't have a route for 172.16/16 in the config below, so ospf will not >> advertise it.
