Configure EIGRP summary address settings

You can configure summary addresses for each interface. If you want to create summary addresses that do not occur at a network boundary, you should manually define them. Alternatively, use summary addresses on threat defense with automatic route summarization disabled. If more specific routes are available in the routing table, EIGRP advertises the summary address with a metric equal to the minimum of all specific routes.

Procedure

Step 1

On the EIGRP page, click the Summary Address tab.

Step 2

Click Add.

Step 3

From the Interface drop-down list, select the interface from which the summary address is advertised.

Step 4

From the Network drop-down list, select the network object with specific IP address and network mask to be summarized.

To add a new network, click Add (add icon). For detailed instructions for adding networks, refer to Network.

Step 5

In the Administrative Distance field, enter the administrative distance of the summary route.

Valid values range from 1 to 255.

Step 6

Click OK and click Save to save the changes.

The EIGRP summary address settings are configured and saved. EIGRP will advertise the summary address from the specified interface with the configured administrative distance.
