Summary Route Commands for RIP, OSPF, EIGRP & BGP

03 Apr 2011 - Lab-Rat

Every protocol has a specific command to manually summarize routes. Some of them have multiple ways depending on what type of route you are summarizing. Here’s a brief list of how that works.

OSPF

Redistributed Routes:

{Router(config-router)# summary-address *{{ip-address mask} {prefix mask}} [not-advertise][tag tag]*

Between OSPF Areas:

Router(config-router)# area area-id range *ip-address mask [advertise not-advertise][cost cost]*

EIGRP

Router(config-if)# ip summary-address eigrp as-number ip-address mask [admin-distance] [leak-map name]

RIP

Router(config-if)# ip summary-address rip ip-address ip-network-mask
*Note: RIP does not generate a aroute to Null0 automatically- beware route feedback.

BGP

Router(config-router)# aggregate-address address mask [as-set]
