Re: Little question about EIGRP summary address

Hi,

AFAIK, the "summary-address" command is able to summarize both internal and
external EIGRP routes that cross that interface. The summarizing router will
source the summary-address as an internal EIGRP route to its neighbors.

There are times when you need to adjust the default AD 5 to a higher value.
E.g. you are doing "ip summary-address eigrp 1 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" to
downstream routers. This effectively suppresses all routes and sources a
"default route". If this router also dynamically learns a default route from
upstream router via EIGRP (maybe AD 170), it will be offset by the
summary-address which has AD 5.

Just my two cents.

Thank you.

B.Rgds,
Lim TS
