Area Aggregation Configuration
Area Aggregation allows all of the routing information that may
be contained within an area to be aggregated into a summary
LSDB advertisement of just the network address and subnet
mask. This allows for a reduction in the volume of LSDB
advertisement traffic as well as a reduction in the memory
overhead in the switch used to maintain routing tables.
To configure OSPF Area Aggregation on the switch, click
the Area Aggregation Configuration link under the OSPF
folder:
