Solved: Eigrp summary route question

mahesh18 · ‎04-09-2010

Hi all,

If we have Router A connected to 3 different networks and is using EIGRP

172.16.5.144/28

172.16.5.160/28

172.16.5.128/28

so what summary route will be shown in output of sh ip route on Router A

many thanks

Hi,

If you want a single summary statement, the best one is this:

172.16.5.128/26

Just make sure there are no overlapping in any other part of the network.

Mahesh,

Yes. When you configure eigrp summary address of 172.16.5.128/26, it will have an entry in local RIB pointing to null interface.

Hi Mahesh,

From your description, all 3 networks are connected to Router A. So it all will be shown as connected route in routing table. There wont be any summary route generated by default.

If you configure a EIGRP summary, an entry pointing to null interface will be installed in your routing table.
