ProSafe Managed Switch

Inter-area Router

The examples in this section show you how to configure a 7000 Series 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
0.0.0.2 and 0.0.0.3. The sample script shows the commands used to configure a 7000 Series
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.
