You might be better off letting your next hop handle the aggregation. Aggregates never worked the way I (personally) thought they should on the Arcs. I was always of the idea that combining network aggregation with IP pool definitions was a bad idea. I always thought they should have defined IP pools, and then handled aggregation of routes in a seperate control area, but, 3Com has a history of not listening to me,
Actually they do:
anunu2> list ip pool
IP ADDRESS POOLS Name Address Size InUse State Route Unused Priority Status pool01 64.65.75.176/A 192 41 PUBLIC MULTI_AGGR 0 1 ACTIVE anunu2> list ip agg
IP Aggregate Routes PoolName Aggregate Route Size Type pool01 64.65.75.176/28 16 MULTI_AGGR pool01 64.65.75.192/26 64 MULTI_AGGR pool01 64.65.76.0/26 64 MULTI_AGGR pool01 64.65.76.64/27 32 MULTI_AGGR pool01 64.65.76.96/28 16 MULTI_AGGR
Notice the MULTI_AGGR in the listing for pool01? The neat thing with this is you just define the pool starting address as you normally would and it figures out the aggregates. The zero'th address in each aggregate doesn't present a problem as the box answers/arps for the entire range anyway.
Hrmm...neat...added in 5.0.9 apparently. Mike, Curt, either of you guys know about this? I don't remember that ever being mentioned in the beta, or anytime after.
Of course, the definition of the aggregates is still tied up with the pools...which is still pretty broken...but at least its not *as* broken this way.
I'm not aware of any control of redistribution of routes between OSPF and RIP for example.
Controlling aggregation of routes in the dial-up pools really prevents the Arcs from reaching their full potential (I've mentioned things along this line before). The Arc really has the potential to be a good, maybe even great, general purpose router system...of course, 3Com seems to be doing their best to destroy any value that the company has as a single unit, so I don't hold out much hope for the Arc ever being able to see its true potential.
I just hope Krish, Mike Wronski, Tom Goodman and the rest of the good people at 3Com get out before the ship sinks. :/
