Explanation

By default, OSPF advertises loopback interfaces as /32 host routes regardless of the configured subnet mask. Configuring the loopback interface with 'ip ospf network point-to-point' overrides this default behavior and causes OSPF to advertise the loopback with its actual configured subnet mask (in this case /24), which is what R2 will then receive.
