192.68.72.32 /28

Hello Khan,

you need to write down in binary the last byte and you need to find out the last matching bit in base addresses

160 = 128 +32  ->  1010 0000

32                         0010 0000

the only possible aggregate that covers both IP prefixes but also other possible prefixes is:

192.168.72.0/24   because first bit of 4th byte is different in the two base addresses

this is called a non exclusive summary route

in BGP you can use

router bgp xx

aggregate-address 192.168.72.0 mask 255.255.255.0

if this is not acceptable for you, you should advertise the IP single subnets

Hope to help
