Configuring Route Summarization Between OSPF Areas

Route summarization is the consolidation of advertised addresses. This feature causes a single summary
route to be advertised to other areas by an area boundary router. In OSPF, an area boundary router
advertises networks in one area into another area. If the network numbers in an area are assigned in a
way such that they are contiguous, you can configure the area boundary router to advertise a summary
route that covers all the individual networks within the area that fall into the specified range.
To define an address range for route summarization, perform the following steps:
If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to
Step 1
configure by entering the following command:
hostname(config)# router ospf process_id
To set the address range, enter the following command:
Step 2
hostname(config-router)# area area-id range ip-address mask [advertise | not-advertise]
The following example shows how to configure route summarization between OSPF areas:
hostname(config)# router ospf 1
hostname(config-router)# area 17 range 12.1.0.0 255.255.0.0

Configuring Route Summarization when Redistributing Routes into OSPF

When routes from other protocols are redistributed into OSPF, each route is advertised individually in
an external LSA. However, you can configure the FWSM to advertise a single route for all the
redistributed routes that are covered by a specified network address and mask. This configuration
decreases the size of the OSPF link-state database.
To configure the software advertisement on one summary route for all redistributed routes covered by a
network address and mask, perform the following steps:
Step 1 If you have not already done so, enter the router configuration mode for the OSPF process you want to
configure by entering the following command:
hostname(config)# router ospf process_id
To set the summary address, enter the following command:
Step 2
hostname(config-router)# summary-address ip_address mask [not-advertise] [tag tag]
OSPF does not support summary-address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.
