I have a remote network which is having difficulty picking up all the routes advertised from a backbone network using ospf.
My intention is to put a few static routes pointing to the backbone or to set a default/last resort gateway on my remote network to solve SMS problems, however, i'm told if i do this then my remote router will advertise these routes back to the backbone with a better metric, therefore causing routing problems on the backbone.
Is this true?
If so is there a way to set up the static routes but to prevent the router advertising them in its ospf updates?
thanks for any help/advice

Static routes will only be advertised by your ospf speaking router if you have "redistribute static" in your ospf process. If you have this and want to stop only a subset of statics from getting out then a distribution-list in your redistribution statement will allow this as well.
Hope this helps you,
