EIGRP tunnels question.

ry0534cisco

Level 1

I am a bit confused about this router config from a branch location of an enterprise network. They use EIGRP tunnels as backups to the HQ.

I have pasted what I believe is relevant to my question. Under the sh ip pro it states:

Address Summarization:

    10.102.73.0/24 for Tunnel1, Tunnel2, Tunnel3

but that network is for the inside user LAN. What does this command mean?

And the route table has this EIGRP config:

This router has 2 subnets as local connected subnets within this address space. Rather than advertise the individual subnets the router has configured the summary address command on the tunnel interfaces. The result is that the router advertises one summary instead of the individual subnets. And when summarization is configured EIGRP will install a route for the aggregate with null 0 as the next hop.
