destination. When disabled, preference is based on type of path (where

type 1 external paths are preferred over type 2 external paths, using

cost only to break ties (RFC 2328).

All routers in an OSPF routing domain should use the same RFC for

calculating summary routes.

If there are any OSPF routers in an area exchanging summary

information (specifically, ABRs) which have not been upgraded to

OSPFv2, this command should be used on the newly upgraded OSPFv2

routers to ensure compatibility with routers still running older OSPFv2

code. Once all systems have been upgraded to newer OSPFv2 code, use

the no form of this command to restore compatibility for all systems
with RFC 2328.

If the always parameter is not selected, the router can only advertise a

default external route into the AS if it has been configured to import

external routes through other routing protocols or static routing, and

such a route is known. (See the

redistribute

command.)
