RE: area range x.x.x not-advertise...

Akbar,

Address ranges are used to aggregate address ranges from within the area
into one single advertisement sent into the adjacent areas, or to prevent
the advertisement of networks.

The not-advertise option, hides these networks from other areas.

For example. Consider the following. You have an ABR router bordering area
1 and area 0. It receives the networks 10.1.1.0 /24, 10.1.2.0/24,
10.1.3.0/24 up to 10.1.254.0 etc from other area 1 routers.

On the ABR you implement the area range command i.e. area 1 range 10.1.0.0
255.255.0.0. Effect: This will aggregate address ranges from within the
area into one single advertisement sent into the adjacent areas i.e.
10.1.0.0 /16.

However, using the not-advertise parameter would hide these networks and
the summary from other areas.

In summary, Use the area area-id range address mask command create an
address range.

Use the area area-id range address mask not-advertise command to create an
address range and prevent the range from being advertised to other networks.

That's my understanding from implementing it numerous times :).

Hope that helps,

Hello Folks,

I wish to confirm my understanding of area 1 range x.x.x.x

>no-advertise command. Iam in the impression that in addition to not
>advertising the type 3 summary-route this command will also hide the

>specific routes of area 1 to other areas.. is that true...?

In addition is the above command in parallel with area 1 filter-list
prefix exception to that filter-list is more flexible than no-advertise
option

Thanks,Akbar khan
