OSPFv3 Commands

1151

area range (Router OSPFv3)

Use the area range command in Router OSPF Configuration mode to

configure a summary prefix for routes learned in a given area. If the area has

not been previously created, this command creates the area and then applies

the range parameters. There are two types of area ranges. An area range can be

configured to summarize intra-area routes. An ABR advertises the range

rather than the specific intra-area route as a type 3 summary LSA. Also, an

area range can be configured at the edge of an NSSA to summarize external

routes reachable within the NSSA. The range is advertised as a type 5

external LSA. Use the no form of the command to remove the summary

prefix configuration for routes learned in the specified area.
