In the IS-IS network shown, router R1 has been configured to summarize subnetworks 20.20.1.0/24 and 20.20.2.0/24 as 20.20.0.0/16. Which routers’ routing tables will be reduced, compared to their routing tables before the summarization?
Router R1 is the one that performs the summarization of the two subnets (20.20.1.0/24 and 20.20.2.0/24) into the summarized route 20.20.0.0/16. However, R1 itself will not see any change in its routing table because it is directly connected to both subnets and already knows about them.
Router R2, which is in Area 49.0002, will benefit from this summarization because it previously had separate routes for both 20.20.1.0/24 and 20.20.2.0/24. After the summarization, R2 will only need to maintain a single route to 20.20.0.0/16, reducing the size of its routing table.
Router R4 does not directly benefit from the summarization because it is only connected to the Level 1 network and has no need for the summarized routes from R1. Thus, the summarization does not affect R4's routing table.
