Raj,

The EIGRP summary address is used on the interface on which you would like
to advertise the summary address, but it can summarize any EIGRP routes for
which you have a more specific route.

So let's say that your lo0 iterface is 150.50.5.5/32 and you have an EIGRP
neighbor connected on interface e0. You want to send a summary address for
the lo0 interface to the neighbor on e0. YOu would enter the following
command on e0:

int e0
ip add 10.0.0.1 255.255.0.0
ip summary-address eigrp 100 150.50.5.0 255.255.255.0 85

Notice I am summarizing the lo0 network to a 24-bit mask. Also, I did not
enter the command on the lo0 interface. I entered it on the interface to
which I wanted to advertise the summary.

Also, the 100 is the EIGRP AS number; the 85 is the AD for this summary.
Specifying the AD is optional and will default to 5 for EIGRP summary
addresses.

Hi,

When the Eigrp command, ip summary-address eigrp # <a.b.c.d> <m.m.m.m>, is
entered on most interfaces, that summary address is advertised to the eigrp
neighbors, but when entered under a loopback interface, it isn't
advertised.
Is that the way it should be or did I do (or not do) something wrong?

Thanks, Raj
