Configure an 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 first diagram shows a network segment with an inter-area router connecting areas 0.0.0.2 and 0.0.0.3.
The example 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.
