Cisco ASA 5500 Series Configuration Guide using ASDM
Chapter27 Configuring OSPF
Customizing OSPF
Using summary routes for OSPF causes an OSPF ASBR to advertise one external route as an aggregate
for all redistributed routes that are covered by the address. Only routes from other routing protocols that
are being redistributed into OSPF can be summarized.
Note OSPF does not support summary-address 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0.
To configure the software advertisement on one summary route for all redistributed routes included for
a network address and mask, perform the following steps:
Step1 In the main ASDM home page, choose Configuration > Device Setup > Routing > OSPF > Summary
Address.
Step2 Click Add.
The Add OSPF Summary Address Entry dialog box appears. You can add new entries to existing entries
in the Summary Address table. Some of the summary address information cannot be changed when
editing an existing entry.
Step3 Choose the specified OSPF Process ID associated with the summary address from the OSPF Process
drop-down list. You cannot change this information when editing an existing entry.
Step4 Enter the IP address of the summary address in the IP Address field. You cannot change this information
when editing an existing entry.
Step5 Choose the network mask for the summary address from the Netmask drop-down list. You cannot change
this information when editing an existing entry.
Step6 Check the Advertise check box to advertise the summary route. Uncheck this check box to suppress
routes that fall under the summary address. By default, this check box is checked.
The Tag value displays a 32-bit decimal value that is attached to each external route. This value is not
used by OSPF itself, but may be used to communicate information between ASBRs.
Step7 Click OK.
