Route Summarization Examples
A correct and an incorrect configuration example of route summarization are provided.

Example 1: Correct Configuration

The following example shows how the ip summary-address rip router configuration command works
with automatic summary addressing in RIP, starting in global configuration mode. In the example, the
major network is 10.0.0.0. The summary address 10.2.0.0 overrides the automatic summary address of
10.0.0.0, so that 10.2.0.0 is advertised out Ethernet interface 1 and 10.0.0.0 is not advertised.
Note If split horizon is enabled, neither automatic summary nor interface summary addresses (those
configured with the ip summary-address rip router configuration command) are advertised.
Router(config)# router rip
Router(config-router)# network 10.0.0.0
Router(config-router)# exit
Router(config)# interface ethernet1
Router(config-if)# ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router(config-if)# ip summary-address rip 10.2.0.0 255.255.0.0
Router(config-if)# no ip split-horizon
Router(config-if)# exit
