Configuring BGP route summarization
To reduce the routing table size on medium and large BGP networks, you need to configure route
summarization on BGP routers. BGP supports automatic and manual summarization modes. Manual
summary routes have a higher priority than automatic ones.
NOTE:
The output interface of BGP summary routes is Null 0. If the network address and mask of a specific route
are the same as the summary route, BGP selects the route with higher preference to guide packet
forwarding.
Configure automatic route summarization
After automatic route summarization is configured, BGP summarizes redistributed IGP subnets to
advertise only natural networks. Routes injected with the network command cannot be summarized.
Follow these steps to configure automatic route summarization:

Configure manual route summarization
By configuring manual route summarization, you can summarize both redistributed routes and routes
injected using the network command and determine the mask length for a summary route as needed.
