For example:
Network ID:192.168.1.0/24
Subnetted it to: 192.168.1.0/26
Giving four networks:
(0) 192.168.1.0/26
(1) 192.168.1.64/64
(2) 192.168.1.128/26
(3) 192.168.10.192/26
Summarize these subnets in the routing table and advertise them as the
single class C network number-192.168.1.0/24
It reduces the size of routing tables, requiring less memory and pro-
cessing.
It reduces the size of routing updates, requiring less bandwidth.
It prevents routing table instability.
The summary route may contain subnets that are not in use, and the
router may receive packets for routes that are not in use, although they
do mathematically fall under the summary route. In this case the router
will drop those packets.
The router may choose a different pathway for the route because the
pathway is more specific than that of the summary route.
