Configure the OSPF network
type for the interface as P2P. ospf network-type p2p

By default, the network type of an
interface depends on the link layer

protocol.

Configuring OSPF route control

This section describes how to control the advertisement and reception of OSPF routing information, as

well as route redistribution from other protocols.

Configuration prerequisites

Before you configure this task, complete the following tasks:

Configure IP addresses for interfaces.

Enable OSPF.

Configure filters if routing information filtering is needed.

Configuring OSPF route summarization

You can configure route summarization on an ABR or ASBR to summarize routes with the same prefix into
a single route and distribute it to other areas.
Route summarization reduces the traffic of routing information exchanged between areas and the sizes

of routing tables on routers, improving route calculation speed on routers.
For example, in an area are three internal routes 19.1.1.0/24, 19.1.2.0/24, and 19.1.3.0/24. By
configuring route summarization on the ABR, the three routes are summarized into the route 19.1.0.0/16

that is advertised to other areas.

Configuring route summarization on an ABR

If contiguous network segments are available in the area, you can summarize them into a single network

segment. An ABR generates Type-3 LSAs on a per network segment basis for an attached non-backbone
area.
In this way, the ABR in the area distributes only the summary LSA to reduce the scale of LSDBs on routers

in other areas and the influence of topology changes.
To configure route summarization on an ABR:
