Usage

The area range command is used only with Area Border Routers (ABRs). It is used to consolidate or

summarize routes for an area. The result is that a single summary route is advertised to other areas by

the ABR. Routing information is condensed at area boundaries. External to the area, a single route is

advertised for each address range. This behavior is called route summarization.

Multiple area router configuration commands specifying the range option can be configured. Thus,

OSPF can summarize addresses for many different sets of address ranges.


Examples

The following example specifies one summary route to be advertised by the ABR to other areas for all

subnets on network 10.0.0.0 and for all hosts on network 192.168.110.0:

interface eth-0-1
