Table 143 OSPF Area Index Configuration Menu options

Command	Description
areaid <IP address>	Defines the area ID of the OSPF area number.
type transitstubnssa	Defines the type of area. For example, when a virtual link has to be
	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—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.
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.
auth nonepasswordmd5	Defines the authentication method, as follows:
	• none—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.
spf <0-255>	Sets time interval between two successive SPF (shortest path first) calculations
	of the shortest path tree using the Dijkstra’s algorithm.
enable	Enables the OSPF area.
disable	Disables the OSPF area.
delete	Deletes the OSPF area.
cur	Displays the current OSPF configuration.
