There are two ways to avoid polluting your IGP (be it RIPv2 or OSPF based): either set the pool size to 32 or 64 (depending on the amount of E1/T1's into your PM3) and start the assigned pool at the same boundary, or filter IGP announcements later on, possibly utilising route summaries. > this is the nature of vlsm routing ... you can have routes for most > of any cidr block and still redirect smaller pieces to other places. PM's suck in this regard, they can generate a handful of routes for a block even if they only miss one IP address in it to make it to the next ^2 natural boundary, and there's no way to tell them to aggregrate it anyway. -- Niels.
