Step6 area area-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# area 0
Enters area configuration mode and configures a backbone
area for the OSPF process.
Step7 interface type instance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# interface
POS 0/1/0/3
Enters interface configuration mode and associates one or
more interfaces to the backbone area.
•All interfaces inherit the authentication parameter
values specified for the OSPF process (Step 4, Step 5,
and Step 6).
Step8 Repeat Step 7 for each interface that must
communicate, using the same authentication.

Step9 exit
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# exit
Enters area OSPF configuration mode.
Step10 area area-id
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf)# area 1
Enters area configuration mode and configures a
nonbackbone area 1 for the OSPF process.
•The area-id argument can be entered in dotted-decimal
or IPv4 address notation, such as area 1000 or
area 0.0.3.232. However, you must choose one form or
the other for an area. We recommend using the IPv4
address notation.
Step11 authentication [message-digest | null]
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)#
authentication
Enables Type 1 (plain text) authentication that provides no
security.
•The example specifies plain text authentication (by not
specifying a keyword). Use the authentication-key
command in interface configuration mode to specify
the plain text password.
Step12 interface type instance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# interface
POS 0/1/0/0
Enters interface configuration mode and associates one or
more interfaces to the nonbackbone area 1 specified in
Step 7.
•All interfaces configured inherit the authentication
parameter values configured for area 1.
Step13 Repeat Step 12 for each interface that must
communicate, using the same authentication.
—
Step14 interface type instance
Example:
RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-ospf-ar)# interface
POS 0/3/0/0
Enters interface configuration mode and associates one or
more interfaces to a different authentication type.
