OSFP Area Index configuration

The following table describes the Area Index Configuration commands.
OSPF Area Index Configuration commands
Table 132
Command
area <0-2> area-id <A.B.C.D>
area <0-2> type
{transit|stub|nssa}
Description
Configures an OSPF host route. Up to 128 host routes can be configured.
Host routes are used for advertising network device IP addresses to external
networks to perform server load balancing within OSPF. It also makes Area
Border Route (ABR) load sharing and ABR failover possible.
Command mode: Router OSPF
Sets the link state database limit.
Command mode: Router OSPF
Sets one default route among multiple choices in an area.
Command mode: Router OSPF
Enables OSPF.
Command mode: Router OSPF
Disables OSPF.
Command mode: Router OSPF
Displays the current OSPF configuration settings.
Command mode: All except User EXEC
Description
Defines the area ID of the OSPF area number.
Command mode: Router OSPF
Defines the type of area. For example, when a virtual link has to be
established with the backbone, the area type must be defined as
transit.
transit—allows area summary information to be exchanged
between routing devices. Any area that is not a stub area or
NSSA is considered to be transit area.
stub—is an area where external routing information is not
distributed. Typically, a stub area is connected to only one
other area.
nssa—Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA) is similar to stub area with
additional capabilities. For example, routes originating from
within the NSSA can be propagated to adjacent transit and
backbone areas. External routes from outside the Autonomous
System (AS) can be advertised within the NSSA but are not
distributed into other areas.
