Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik OSPF Route Summarization

[Jesse DuPont]

To summarize your PPPoE pools, the prefix for it needs to be in another area. Depending on your RouterOS version, it will automatically create the blackhole route for the area-range. It's not too difficult, I can send you config samples if you need. No filters needed with area-range and separate area. You can do the same thing to aggregating part of a hierarchy. So long as the contiguous prefixes are all downstream from a single router, you can put that "leg" of the network into a different area and summarize it using the area-range. **Queue Bruce about using iBGP for this** (which I support) :) Jesse DuPont Network Architect email: jesse.dup...@celeritycorp.net Celerity Networks LLC Celerity Broadband LLC Like us! facebook.com/celeritynetworksllc Like us! facebook.com/celeritybroadband On 9/9/16 4:15 PM, Jason McKemie wrote: Mainly the pppoe, but I'd also like to clean up the routing table a bit by summarizing subnets that are contiguous. Maybe I'm over complicating it with that last part.
