Area Aggregation Configuration

Area Aggregation allows all of the routing information that may be contained within an area to be aggregated into a summary LSDB advertisement of just the network address and subnet mask. This allows for a reduction in the volume of LSDB advertisement traffic as well as a reduction in the memory overhead in the switch used to maintain routing tables.

To configure OSPF Area Aggregation on the switch, click the Area Aggregation Configuration link under the OSPF folder:
