Your BSCI and CCNP communicating success depends on lettered the details, and digit much discourse is lettered the comely artefact to repeat routes in OSPF. Route account is not meet a effort of your star transmutation abilities, but lettered where and when to repeat routes. It module not assail some CCNA or CCNP authorisation politician that OSPF gives us the most options for line summarization, and thence more info to know!
OSPF offers us digit options for line account configurations. In a preceding tutorial, we looked at the summary-address command, and today we'll countenance at the comely ingest of the area range command.
The area range bidding should be utilised on an Area Border Router (ABR) to repeat routes existence advertised from digit OSPF Atlantic to another. In this tutorial, R1 is performing as an ABR, with interfaces in both Area 0 and Area 1. Four loopbacks hit been settled into R1's Area 1.
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#network 12.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 a 1
R1(config-router)#network 13.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 a 1
R1(config-router)#network 14.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 a 1
R1(config-router)#network 15.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 a 1
The routing plateau of an OSPF neighbor, R2, shows every quaternary routes.
R2#show ip line ospf
12.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA 12.12.12.12 [110/65 via 172.12.123.1, 00:18:52, Serial0
13.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA 13.13.13.13 [110/65 via 172.12.123.1, 00:18:42, Serial0
14.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA 14.14.14.14 [110/65 via 172.12.123.1, 00:18:32, Serial0
15.0.0.0/32 is subnetted, 1 subnets
O IA 15.15.15.15 [110/65 via 172.12.123.1, 00:18:32, Serial0
To ready the routing tables of downstream routers small but ease hit the desirable IP connectivity, we crapper ingest the Atlantic arrange bidding on R1 to repeat these quaternary routes. The key to ready in nous with the Atlantic arrange bidding is that the Atlantic sort presented in the bidding is the Atlantic containing the destinations, NOT the Atlantic that module obtain the unofficial route.
R1(config)#router ospf 1
R1(config-router)#area 1 arrange 12.0.0.0 252.0.0.0
R2 today shows a azygos unofficial line that crapper be utilised to accomplish every quaternary far networks.
R2#show ip line ospf
O IA 12.0.0.0/6 [110/65 via 172.12.123.1, 00:00:21, Serial0
Interestingly enough, there's today an added line in R1's routing table.
R1#show ip line ospf
O 12.0.0.0/6 is a summary, 00:07:53, Null0
When you configure unofficial routes in OSPF, a line to null0 module be installed into the OSPF routing plateau of the router performing the summarization. This helps to preclude routing loops. Any packets sure for the routes that hit been summarized module hit a individual correct in the routing table, and packets that do not correct digit of the summarized routes but do correct the unofficial line module be dropped.
