[j-nsp] ISIS Case Study in JNCIP..Summarization into Backbone

[Hoogen]

Hi,
My question is when we redistribute 172.16.40.0/30 and 172.16.40.4/30 subnet
on R6 and R7...it reaches R5... and we see the output as

lab at R5# run show route 172.16.40.0/29

inet.0: 29 destinations, 29 routes (29 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

172.16.40.0/30     *[IS-IS/15] 00:17:21, metric 6
                    > to 10.0.8.5 via ge-0/0/0.0
172.16.40.4/30     *[IS-IS/15] 00:16:53, metric 6
                    > to 10.0.8.10 via ge-0/0/1.0

Now we need to summarize this before sending it into Backbone..

On R5 though we see the policy-option to be

term 3 {
        from {
            protocol aggregate;
            route-filter 172.16.40.0/29 exact;
  }
        to level 2;
        then accept;
    }
}

In this we have it accepting aggregate route 172.16.40/29

Now in the whole policy on R5 we do not discard the more specific routes
from entering the Backbone area

And on R3 we see those three routes along with the aggregate route...

lab at R3# run show route 172.16.40.0/29

inet.0: 25 destinations, 25 routes (25 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

172.16.40.0/29     *[IS-IS/165] 00:04:07, metric 13
                    > to 10.0.2.1 via t1-2/0/0.35
172.16.40.0/30     *[IS-IS/18] 00:12:15, metric 9
                    > to 10.0.2.1 via t1-2/0/0.35
172.16.40.4/30     *[IS-IS/18] 00:11:47, metric 9
                    > to 10.0.2.1 via t1-2/0/0.35

Now from my understanding of the question I need to deny the longer more
specific routes... on R5 filter saying 172.16.40/29 longer the reject...

So that on R3 and R4 I only see

lab at R3# run show route 172.16.40.0/29

inet.0: 23 destinations, 23 routes (23 active, 0 holddown, 0 hidden)
+ = Active Route, - = Last Active, * = Both

172.16.40.0/29     *[IS-IS/165] 00:04:29, metric 13
                    > to 10.0.2.1 via t1-2/0/0.35

Is my understanding right.. or is this step not required ...I do not see
this extra solution in the book..
