eigrp auto-summarization

This is cool..it took few minutes to understand this concept

(f0/0 172.16.0.0/255.255.248.0)  R1<---->R2   (f0/0 172.18.0.0/255.255.248.0)

By default EIGRP auto summarizes.

# network 172.16.0.0 0.0.7.255

I thought it should advertise same to the other router as it auto summarizes...but what I saw is it auto summarizes to 172.16.0.0/16 in R2....hmmm

So By Default it auto summarizes to classfull subnet

If I choose no auto-summary then it will populate each network i.e. from 172.16.0.0 to172.16.7.0

But I wanted to summarize routes to 172.16.0.0/21

after lil research I found

# int f0/0
# ip summary-address eigrp 12 172.16.0.0 255.255.248.0

aha...now i can see summarized route

Its an amazing journey...each day a new concept...i like it
