Description
This command creates ranges of addresses on an Area Border Router (ABR) for the purpose of route
summarization or suppression. When a range is created, the range is configured to be advertised or
not advertised into other areas. Multiple range commands may be used to summarize or hide different
ranges. In the case of overlapping ranges, the most specific range command applies.
ABRs send summary link advertisements to describe routes to other areas. To minimize the number
of advertisements that are flooded, you can summarize a range of IP addresses and send reachability
information about these addresses in an LSA.
The no form of the command deletes the range (non) advertisement.
Default
no area-range — No range of addresses are defined.
Special Cases NSSA Context — In the NSSA context, the option specifies that the range applies to external
routes (via type-7 LSAs) learned within the NSSA when the routes are advertised to other areas as
type-5 LSAs.
Area Context — If this command is not entered under the NSSA context, the range applies to
summary LSAs even if the area is an NSSA.
Parameters ipv6-prefix/prefix-length — The IP prefix in dotted decimal notation for the range used by the ABR
mask — The subnet mask for the range expressed as a decimal integer mask length or in dotted
advertise | not-advertise — Specifies whether or not to advertise the summarized range of addresses
