The key to summarizing is to do it in binary.
Let me say, that I don't think you will see a "bizarre" summarization
in the lab. I could be wrong, of course :).
Let's look at your example.
ip address 162.124.6.6 255.252.0.0
ip address 162.128.6.6 255.252.0.0
ip address 162.132.6.6 255.252.0.0
ip address 162.136.6.6 255.252.0.0
To summarize any addresses, you have to find out what bits they all
share. Let's look at the 2nd octet in the addresses above. This is
where the "action" is for summarizing. If addresses don't share the
2nd octet bits, the 3rd and 4th octet don't matter. The summary won't
work. Here are the 2nd octet addresses:
124 = 0111 1100
128 = 1000 0000
132 = 1000 0100
136 = 1000 1000
The problem we have we summarizing these 4 addreses is the 124
address. Since it doesn't share the 1st bit of the 2nd octet with the
other 3 addresses, we have to summarize with this address:
162.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
This is because the ONLY bits these 4 addresses all have in common is
the 1st octet. We could summarize the 128, 132, 136 addresses like
so:
162.128.0.0 255.240.0.0
And just use an individual statement for the 124 address.
Why the 128 and the 240 mask? Because that's what those 3 addresses
have in common in the 2nd octet:
Same Not the same
128 = 1000 - 0000
132 = 1000 - 0100
136 = 1000 - 1000
The 240 mask says the 1st 4 bits match.
Usually, in the real world, you try to work from the other direction.
Meaning that you design your address scheme to be simple, and
efficient to summarize. You don't always have that luxury, but that's
the way it should be done.
