Summarizing Routes EIGRP
Let's take a look at an example of using the ip summary-address eigrp
command:
Cisco3640(config)#interface serial 0
Cisco3640(config-if)#ip address 172.16.16.254
255.255.255.0
Cisco3640(config-if)#ip summary-address eigrp 10
172.16.0.0 255.255.240.0
Cisco3640(config-if)#bandwidth 64
Cisco3640(config-if)#no shut
Route Summarization for BGP
W
e employ route summarization with BGP to limit the number of
routes in the routing table by using the aggregate-address command in
the BGP router configuration mode. This command creates an atomic aggre-
gate, or summarized, entry in the BGP table. The syntax summary-only tells
BGP to advertise only the summary and not the specific routes to each des-
tination. You can use the as-set syntax to include a list of all of the AS numbers
