Area Range

Creating a new OSPFv2 area range
Using the "Create" button in the "OSPFv2 Area Range" menu, up to four networks can be
grouped together under one area ID. The method is used only with area border routers. This
means that an area border router only advertises one route for grouped areas to the outside.
Note
This function is available only with layer 3.
