Re: (ASCEND) Making IGP work on a Max

Because it still sees all of the external routes. Each dialin customer with
a static IP address generates an external route. Also, unless you have
an area configured as an NSSA, it sees all the non-external routes as well.
Not being in the backbone area does not (and shouldn't) prevent this.
I haven't had the guts to try the new NSSA feature... OSPF on 6.1.3 dies
frequently enough as it is (memory allocation errors, something that was
fixed back in 5.0Ap48, if I remember correctly).
If your network is at all complex, be wary of OSPF. I've been considering
switching back to RIP2 to see if that increases the stability of 6.1.3. We've
announced MLPPP on analog modems, so we can't go back to 5.0Ap51.
