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:
Step 1 In the main ASDM window, choose Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > OSPF > Setup.
Step 2 Click the Route Summarization tab.
The Add/Edit a Route Summarization Entry dialog box appears.
The Add/Edit a Route Summarization Entry dialog box allows you to add new entries to or modify
