Route summarization for IGP's

Route Summarization also called Route Aggregation or Supernetting, it minimizes size of the routing table by advertising a single route for multiple set of routes.

Example:

10.1.1.0/24
10.1.2.0/24
10.1.3.0/24
10.1.4.0/24
The above subnets can be represented by a single subnet 10.1.1.0/21


There are two types of summarization
  • auto summarization
  • manual summarization

Route Summarization in RIP:

RipV1 only supports auto summarization by default RIP behavior of route advertisement.
