  • Method for distributing aggregate route information
    Patent number: 7742459
    Abstract: A method for distributing aggregate routes that does not require a user to provision a next hop address or specify a redistribution policy is presented. Embodiments of the method utilize a modified command language interface (CLI) with a network device (e.g., router). In the various embodiments, the modified CLI is well-suited for use in routers that utilize interior gateway protocols such as open shortest path first (OSPF), routing information protocol (RIP), integrated intermediate system-to-intermediate system (ISIS), interior gateway routing protocol (IGRP), enhanced interior gateway routing protocol (EIGRP), and NetWare link services protocol (NLSP). In one or more embodiments, the invention has the advantage of providing an easier means of specifying aggregate routes, which saves user time and is less error-prone.
