◆ This command can be used to summarize intra-area routes and
advertise this information to other areas through Area Border Routers
(ABRs).
◆ If the network addresses within an area are assigned in a contiguous
manner, the ABRs can advertise a summary route that covers all of the
individual networks within the area that fall into the specified range
using a single area range command.
◆ If routes are set to be advertised by this command, the router will issue
a Type 3 summary LSA for each address range specified by this
command.
◆ This router supports up 64 summary routes for area ranges.
