A. It divides a customer IP address pool into smaller portions, each of which is assigned to a different subnet.
B. It reduces the size of the routers' forwarding tables.
C. It improves scalability of the network.
D. It increases routing advertisement stability.
Explanation:
Route summarization (a.k.a. supernetting) is the process of combining multiple contiguous subnets into a single summarized route, which:
Reduces routing table entries
Enhances scalability and efficiency
Minimizes instability by localizing route changes
Option A is false because it describes subnetting, not summarization. Summarization works in the opposite direction C combining smaller routes into a larger one.
