Defining OSPF Area Ranges
The purpose of creating area ranges is to perform route aggregation, which
is the consolidation of advertised addresses. This feature causes a single
summary route to be advertised to other areas by an area border router
(ABR).
In OSPF, an ABR advertises networks in one area into another area. A group
of more specific networks can be aggregated within a less specific network
and advertised as such to reduce routing traffic.
Ranges are defined after an OSPF Area Parameter is configured. Ranges are
added to defined OSPF Area IDs.
To define an OSPF Area Range to an Area ID, follow this procedure:
1. In the OSPF Global window, click the OSPF Areas tab.
2. Click the Summary tab. The Summary window appears indicating the
defined OSPF areas.
3. Select the row that includes the Area ID for the range you wish to define.
4. Click Modify. The Areas Parameters/Ranges window appears.
5. Click the Ranges tab. The Ranges window appears.
6. Click Add. The OSPF Add Area Ranges window appears. Refer to ().
7. Click Apply to save the configuration or click Cancel to exit without
saving.
