Figure 15-4. Network That Cannot Use Route Summaries
For example, in Figure 15-4, Router B connects to Router A through subnet
1.1.1.0 /30, and to Router C through subnet 2.2.2.0 /30. Both Router A and C
attempt to advertise network 10.0.0.0 /8. When the route is accurate for
Network 3, Router B misroutes traffic to Networks 1 and 2 and vice versa. In
network environments such as this one, you must disable auto-summary so
that Router C can advertise Network 2 as 10.1.2.0 /24, and Router A can do the
same for its local networks.
You cannot use route summaries when your network includes non-contiguous
subnets. Disable auto summarization under these conditions:
The router connects to subnets in the same classful network through at
least two different connections.
These connections cross a classful network boundary.
To disable route summarization, enter:
ProCurve(config-rip)# no auto-summary
You cannot disable route summaries for RIP v1. (Although you can enter the
no auto-summary command in conjunction with RIP v1, RIP v1 will continue
to use route summaries.) If your network includes discontinuous subnets, you
must use RIP v2.
