SSR Command Line Interface Reference Manual 26 - 5
ospf add network
Purpose
Configures summary-ranges on Area Border Routers (ABRs). This allows you to
reduce the amount of routing information propagated between areas.
On the SSR, summary-ranges are created using the
ospf add network
command –
the networks specified using this command describe the scope of an area. Intra-area
Link State Advertisements (LSAs) that fall within the specified ranges are not
advertised into other areas as inter-area routes. Instead, the specified ranges/networks
are advertised as summary network LSAs. If you specify the
restrict
option, the
summary network LSAs are not advertised. Each intra-area LSA that does not fall into
any range is advertised as an OSPF Type-3 or 4 LSA.
