Summarizing Routes in OSPF

Table of contents:

Problem

You want to minimize the size of a backbone routers link-state database by summarizing the routes sent to the backbone area.

Solution

Summarize the routes that are flooded into the backbone area by the ABR:

	[edit protocols ospf]
	aviva@RouterJ# set area 0.0.0.3 area-range 10.0.0.0/16

Discussion

OSPF route summarization aggregates routes sent by nonbackbone areas to the backbone routers so that the size of their link-state databases is reduced. In this recipe, the networks in Area 0.0.0.3 are 10.0.8.1/28, 10.0.8.2/28, 10.0.13.1/28, and 10.0.13.2/28 (see Figure 12-3), which can be summarized as 10.0.0.0/24.

If we check on one of the backbone routers before configuring route summarization, we see four Type 3 (Summary) LSAs in the link-state database:

	aviva@RouterG> show ospf database
	 OSPF link state database, area 0.0.0.0
	 Type ID Adv Rtr Seq Age Opt Cksum Len

After the ABR for Area 0.0.0.3 begins aggregating the routes, the number of Type 3 LSAs sent to the backbone area decreases to three, and two LSAs from that area, 10.0.8.0 and 10.0.13.0, are combined into one, 10.0.0.0:
