Route summarization
Default
Disabled
Description
This command allows you to create a single route that covers a set of smaller routes, thus reducing the number of routes in the routing table. Use the no
form of the command to return to the default, where the router does not summarize routes.
-
address
The destination address for the summarized route.
-
subnet-mask
A subnet mask that indicates which addresses should be included in the summarized route.
-
level-1
,level-2
,level-1-2

-

Optional. OSPF only. Routes are not advertised when translating a type 7 link state announcement from OSPF.
-

Example
Assume that we know routes for 10.10.1.0, 10.10.2.0, 10.10.3.0, and so on. Instead of advertising separate routes, we can summarize by combining these routes into a single route for 10.10.0.0:
summary-address 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0
