Inter-area Router

The examples in this section show you how to configure a M4100 and M7100 Managed Switch first as an inter-area router and then as a border router. They show two areas, each with its own border router connected to one inter-area router.

The following figure shows a network segment with an inter-area router connecting areas

0.0.0.2and 0.0.0.3. The sample script shows the commands used to configure a M4100 and

M7100 Managed Switch as the inter-area router in the diagram by enabling OSPF on port 1/0/2 in area 0.0.0.2 and port 1/0/3 in area 0.0.0.3.
