Final answer:

To configure a summary static address on R1, specific network details from the exhibit are required, which involves summarizing multiple routes. The lack of exhibit details prevents giving an exact route, but the process generally includes finding the common network bits and setting an encompassing subnet mask.

Step-by-step explanation:

To create a summary static route on R1 to advertise to R3, you would need information about the network addresses and subnet masks of the networks that need to be summarized. A summary static route consolidates multiple routes into a single route advertisement. Without specific details such as the IP addresses and subnet masks from the exhibit, it is not possible to provide an accurate answer. Usually, you would look for the largest contiguous block of addresses that includes all of the subnets you need to advertise and use the appropriate subnet mask to create a single static route summarizing them.

In a practical setting, this could involve summarizing several classful networks or smaller subnets into a larger, classless subnet. The process involves identifying the common bits in the network portion of the addresses and setting the subnet mask accordingly to include all the required addresses. Once determined, the summary address and mask would be configured on R1's interface or routing protocol settings directing towards R3.
