To create aggregate addresses for the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol, use the summary-address command. To return to the default, use the no form of this command.
summary-address ip-prefix/length [ not-advertise ] [ tag tag ]

This command was introduced.
|
Use the summary-address command to create an aggregate address to replace a series of more-specific addresses. The metric used to advertise the summary is the smallest metric of all the more specific routes.
Use this command to help reduce the size of the routing table and allow an OSPF Autonomous System Boundary Router (ASBR) to advertise one external route as an aggregate for all redistributed routes that are covered by the address.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
This example shows how to configure the summary address 192.0.0.0 to include address 192.0.1.0, 192.0.2.0, 192.0.3.0, and so on. Only the address 192.0.0.0 is advertised in an external link-state advertisement.
