static routes summary

[mo shea]

Hi...

I am using a class A range with a subnet mask of 24 for our lan. We are connected via ISDN line to another site using 1700 router. I have connected the fastethernet port of the router (10.1.1.1/24)to our core (6506) and gave the ethernet port in the core an IP address in the same vlan (10.1.1.2/24) of the fa of the 1700.

We have 32 vlans, and i want to use static routes, so i am thinking of a way to reduce the number of static route entries on the ISDN routers.

If my vlan range is 10.1.32.x to 10.1.61.x, how can i summarize this?

will 10.1.0.0 work for all vlans or can wildcard masks be used?

Any help is appreciated

Thanx

You can summarize the network 10.2.32.x to 10.1.61.x in many ways. One of which would bee the 10.1.0.0/16 network that you mention. You could also summarize the network as 10.1.32.0/19 which would cover network 10.1.32.x to 10.1.63.x. The static routes for both summarizations would like like:

ip route 10.1.0.0 255.255.0.0

ip route 10.1.32.0 255.255.224.0
