Configuration Commands

OSFP Area Index configuration

The following table describes the Area Index Configuration commands.

Table 132 OSPF Area Index Configuration commands

Command	Description
area <0-2> area-id <A.B.C.D>	Defines the area ID of the OSPF area number.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
area <0-2> type	Defines the type of area. For example, when a virtual link has to be
{transitstubnssa}	established with the backbone, the area type must be defined as
	transit.
	• transit—allows area summary information to be exchanged
	between routing devices. Any area that is not a stub area or
	NSSA is considered to be transit area.
	• stub—is an area where external routing information is not
	distributed. Typically, a stub area is connected to only one
	other area.
	• nssa—Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) is similar to stub area with
	additional capabilities. For example, routes originating from
	within the NSSA can be propagated to adjacent transit and
	backbone areas. External routes from outside the Autonomous
	System (AS) can be advertised within the NSSA but are not
	distributed into other areas.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
area <0-2> stub-metric <1-65535>	Configures a stub area to send a numeric metric value. All routes
	received via that stub area carry the configured metric to
	potentially influencing routing decisions.
	Metric value assigns the priority for choosing the switch for default
	route. Metric type determines the method for influencing routing
	decisions for external routes.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
[no] area <0-2> authentication-	Defines the authentication method, as follows:
type {passwordmd5}	• no—No authentication required.
	• password—Authenticates simple passwords so that only
	trusted routing devices can participate.
	• md5—This parameter is used when MD5 cryptographic
	authentication is required.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
area <0-2> spf-interval <0-255>	Sets time interval between two successive SPF (shortest path first)
	calculations of the shortest path tree using the Dijkstra’s algorithm.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
area <0-2> enable	Enables the OSPF area.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
no area <0-2> enable	Disables the OSPF area.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
no area <0-2>	Deletes the OSPF area.
	Command mode: Router OSPF
