Re: advertise OSPF default route into a specific area?

Maria Matejka:

Well, OSPF isn't intended for filtering routes between areas this way. Guessing from what you have written, it may make sense e.g. to run one OSPF instance per area, assign each area a BGP private ASN and run BGP between them.

thanks Maria and Ondrej, after thinking about this, i agree it probably makes more sense to run EBGP between these networks rather than OSPF. so, i'm doing that now and everything is working fine :-) regards, lexi.
