RIP route summarization

OK, I can't seem to figure out why i'm having trouble doing manual route summarization.

R1----ISP---R2

The serial links are 10.1.1.0 /30 and 10.1.1.4 /30. On 3 ethernet ports on R1 I have 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.3.1 all with a /24 subnet mask. I'm trying to summarize route out of s0/0 over to R2 as 192.168.0.0 /22. Here's what i'm getting...



R1(config-if)#ip sum
R1(config-if)#ip summary-address rip 192.168.0.0 255.255.252.0
Summary mask must be greater or equal to major net


When I disable RIP and enable EIGRP this works with no issues. It's just not working with RIP. I think I remember reading somewhere that RIP will only summarize up to it's classful boundaries so trying to summarize a class A as /6 wouldn't work. But the Class C private address 192.168.0.0 technically has a /16 mask so this should work shouldn't it?

    That's odd, you are using version 2 right?

    Yep, version 2 and no auto-summary
