Correct answer & explanation
View the routing table for the summary route
Begin by checking the routing table on the summarizing router to see the summary route. Then, inspect the OSPF database to confirm the summary LSA. Next, verify that the summary is not causing suboptimal routing by checking for more specific routes. After that, use show ip protocols to confirm summarization is enabled. Finally, test reachability to a host within the summarized range.

Quick reference
Routing Protocol Comparison
| Protocol | Metric | Max Hops | Algorithm | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RIP v2 | Hop count | 15 | Bellman-Ford | Distance vector |
| OSPF | Cost (bandwidth) | Unlimited | Dijkstra (SPF) | Link state |
| EIGRP | Composite metric | Unlimited | DUAL | Hybrid |
| IS-IS | Cost | Unlimited | Dijkstra | Link state |
| BGP | Policy / attributes | Unlimited | Path vector | Path vector |
RIP's 15-hop limit makes it unsuitable for large networks. OSPF and EIGRP dominate modern enterprise deployments.
