Re: summary-address in ospf and redistribution

I have been using the ospf summary-address x.x.x.x y.y.y.y not-advertise or
area x range not-advertise which seem to work well. (Although I did not
expect them to, I will spend more time on this later).

This result is that the summary does not get advertised through the OSPF AS
but is used in the redistribution to IGRP. I think that this is a 12.0
command. This would be used when the OSPF masks are longer than IGRP
