Re: OSPF "area range" command summarizes only intra-area

Hi Serhat,

I'm sorry I don't fully understand your points.

Without any area summarization, routers in Area 4 will learn all the
200.0.0.x/32 routes as inter-area routes.

I want to summarize all these host routes so that routers in Area 4 only see
200.0.0.0/24. I did it on the ABR (R4) using the "area 0 range 200.0.0.0
255.255.255.0" command.

However, Area 4 still sees 200.0.0.9/32. Why? As far as R4 is concerned, the
200.0.0.9/32 is an inter-area route whereas the other 200.0.0.x/32 are
intra-area routes.

Appreciate your further advice.

Thank you.

B.Rgds,
Lim TS
