Configuring a DVMRP Summary Address
By default, a Cisco device advertises in DVMRP route-report messages only connected unicast routes
(that is, only routes to subnets that are directly connected to the router) from its unicast routing table.
These routes undergo normal DVMRP classful route summarization. This process depends on whether
the route being advertised is in the same classful network as the interface over which it is being
advertised.

shows an example of the default behavior. This example shows that the DVMRP report sent
by the Cisco router contains the three original routes received from the DVMRP router that have been
poison-reversed by adding 32 to the DVMRP metric. Listed after these routes are two routes that are
advertisements for the two directly connected networks (176.32.10.0/24 and 176.32.15.0/24) that were
taken from the unicast routing table. Because the DVMRP tunnel shares the same IP address as Fast
Ethernet port 1 and falls into the same Class B network as the two directly connected subnets, classful
summarization of these routes was not performed. As a result, the DVMRP router is able to
poison-reverse only these two routes to the directly connected subnets and is able to only RPF properly
for multicast traffic sent by sources on these two Ethernet segments. Any other multicast source in the
network behind the Cisco router that is not on these two Ethernet segments does not properly RPF-check
on the DVMRP router and is discarded.

You can force the Cisco router to advertise the summary address (specified by the address and mask pair
in the ip dvmrp summary-address address mask interface configuration command) in place of any
route that falls in this address range. The summary address is sent in a DVMRP route report if the unicast
routing table contains at least one route in this range; otherwise, the summary address is not advertised.
