# OSPF Summary Route Importation

Route summarization reduces the number of routes that a router must maintain because it represents a series of network addresses as a single summary address. Once you have redistributed a series of routes from another routing protocol into an OSPF routing domain, you can bundle the routes into one generalized or summarized network route.

### To Summarize Imported Routes

1. Enter the necessary information:

IP/Netmask: Enter the summarized IP address and netmask of the imported routes.

Tag: A value that acts as an identifier for the summarized prefix.

2. Click Add to save the settings.

The new summarized route displays.

### To Remove a Summarized Route

1. Click Remove in the Action column of the route that you want to delete.

A system message prompts you to confirm the removal.

2. Click OK to confirm the removal, or Cancel to cancel it.
