I'm trying to work these things out... My basic topology is this:
R1 -- R2 -- R4 -- R5 Between R1/R2 is Area 0 Between R2/R4 is Area 0 Between R4/R5 is Area 0 R5 has loopback5 in Area 5 R5 has Loopback55 in Eigrp, this is redistributed into OSPF Making R5 and ASBR (and an ABR since it has both Area 0 and Area 5). My OSPF database at this point does not show a Type 4 LSA for R5 in any of my routers. I add a loopback to R1 in area 1 and all of a sudden I have a Type 4 LSA for R5. Why doesn't the Type 4 LSA show up just after the redistribution? The Redistributed route does show up as a Type 5 LSA once it is redistributed (as expected). I hope my question comes out clear enough, if need be I can post the configurations and the ip ospf database output. -Mike
