Configuring BGP route summarization

To reduce the number of routes to be redistributed and the routing table size on medium and large BGP

networks, configure route summarization on BGP routers. BGP supports the following summarization

modes: automatic and manual. Manual summary routes have a higher priority than automatic ones.

Configuring automatic route summarization
