59. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Command List
653
59.6. create ospf area
 Description
This command is used to create an OSPF area. OSPF allows collections of contiguous
networks and hosts to be grouped together. Such a group, together with the routers
having interfaces to any one of the included networks, is called an area.

Format
create ospf area <area_id> type [normal | [stub | nssa {translate [enable | disable]}]
{stub_summary [enable | disable] | metric <value 0-65535>}]

Parameters

Restrictions
Only Administrator, Operator and Power-User level users can issue this command.
<area_id>Enter the OSPF area ID used here.
type Specifies the OSPF area operation type. In some Autonomous Systems, the majority of
the topological database may consist of AS external advertisements. An OSPF AS external
advertisement is usually flooded throughout the entire AS. However, OSPF allows certain
areas to be configured as "stub areas". AS external advertisements are not flooded into/
throughout stub areas; routing to AS external destinations in these areas is based on a
(per-area) default only. This reduces the topological database size, and therefore the
memory requirements, for a stub area's internal routers.
normal
Specifies that the OSPF area type will be set to normal.
stub Specifies that the OSPF area type will be set to STUB.
nssa Specifies that the OSPF area type will be set to NSSA.
translate
(Optional) Specifies if translation will be enabled or disabled.
enable
Specifies that the translate option will be enabled.
disable
Specifies that the translate option will be disabled.
stub_summary
(Optional) Specifies whether the summary LSA is effective for this area.
enable
Specifies that the STUB summary option will be enabled.
disable
Specifies that the STUB summary option will be disabled.
metric (Optional) Specifies the metric (1 - 65535; 0 for auto cost) of this area.
<value 0-65535>
Enter the metric value used here. This value must be between 0 and 65535.
