Configuring an OSPF Area

OSPF areas are a collection of subnets that are grouped in a logical fashion. These areas
communicate with other areas via the backbone area. Once OSPF areas are created, you
can add interfaces, stub hosts, and summary ranges to the area.
In order to reduce the amount of routing information propagated between areas, you can
configure summary-ranges on Area Border Routers (ABRs). On the IA, summary-ranges
are created using the ospf add network command. The networks specified using this
command describe the scope of an area. Intra-area Link State Advertisements (LSAs) that
fall within the specified ranges are not advertised into other areas as inter-area routes.
Instead, the specified ranges are advertised as summary network LSAs.
