It is interesting. I have FreeBSD 4.8 system A running routed(8). It has one static route also. I did not know about -hopcount, did not use it so routed(8) did not advertise it. A core router B has another static route to A and that net lives with this. Now I've added -hopcount to this static route on A and 'routed -s' started to announce this route. My /etc/gateway containg: ripv2 rdisc_interval=45 no_ag no_super_ag redirect_ok And mentioned route is /24. Eugene Grosbein
