Other OSPF Behavior Parameters
You can optionally configure other OSPF parameters in router configuration mode.
• Route summarization: When redistributing routes from other protocols, each route is advertised
individually in an external LSA. To help decrease the size of the OSPF link state database, you can
use the summary-address router configuration command to advertise a single router for all the
redistributed routes included in a specified network address and mask.
• Virtual links: In OSPF, all areas must be connected to a backbone area. You can establish a virtual
link in case of a backbone-continuity break by configuring two ABRs as endpoints of a virtual link.
Configuration information includes the identity of the other virtual endpoint (the other ABR) and
the nonbackbone link that the two routers have in common (the transit area). Virtual links cannot be
configured through a stub area.
• Default route: When you specifically configure redistribution of routes into an OSPF routing
domain, the route automatically becomes an autonomous system boundary router (ASBR). You can
force the ASBR to generate a default route into the OSPF routing domain.
