OSPFv3 route summarization

[Wassim Aouadi]

I have these loopback interfaces:

lo4  2004::4:1/112

lo5  2004::5:1/112

lo6  2004::6:1/112 

lo7  2004::7:1/112

I want to summarize them at the area boundary, using "area range" command. I get the following error:

R1(config)#ipv6 router ospf 6
R1(config-rtr)#area 12 range 2004::4::/110
                                      ^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

R1(config-rtr)#area 12 range 2004::4::?   
X:X:X:X::X/<0-128> 

R1(config-rtr)#area 12 range 2004::4/110
OSPFv3: Inconsistent area range prefix/length: 2004::4/110
R1(config-rtr)#
R1(config-rtr)#

Hi,

area 12 range 2004::4/110

the prefix should be 2004::4:0/110 and are you sure the prefixes you want to summarize are in the area 12

Regards.

Hi Alain,

Router R2 is connected to R1 through a frame-relay circuit. R2 is ABR. R1 is internal router in area 12.

R2 does not see the summary route. Instead, it sees individual routes:

R2#sh ipv6 route

Hi,

R2 is ABR. R1 is internal router in area 12.

you can summarize in OSPF on 2 locations only: ABR or ASBR so summarizing on R1 will have no effect.

So you must summarize on R2 and on an intenal router in area 0 you should see the summary route( OI route).

Regards.

Alain.
