and Password or Key used must likewise be identical.

OSPF Area Aggregation Settings

Area Aggregation allows all of the routing information that may be contained within an area to be aggregated into a summary
LSDB advertisement of just the network address and subnet mask. This allows for a reduction in the volume of LSDB
advertisement traffic as well as a reduction in the memory overhead in the Switch used to maintain routing tables. There are no
aggregation settings configured by default, so there will not be any listed the first accessing the window. To add a new OSPF Area
Aggregation setting, click the Add button. A new window (pictured below) appears. To change an existing configuration, click on
the corresponding Modify button for the set you want to change. The window to modify an existing configuration is the same as
the window used to add a new one.
To view this window, click L3 Features > OSPF > OSPF Area Aggregation Settings, as shown below.
Use the window below to change settings or add a new OSPF Area Aggregation setting.
Specify the OSPF aggregation settings and click the Apply button to add or change the settings. The new settings will appear
listed in the OSPF Area Aggregation Settings window. To view the table, click the
return to the previous window.
