Command 
Description 
areaid <IP address> 
Defines the area ID of the OSPF area number. 
type transit|stub|nssa 
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. 
The default is transit. 
metric <1-65535> 
Configures a stub area to send a numeric metric value. All routes 
received via that stub area carry the configured metric to potentially 
influencing routing decisions. 
Metric value assigns the priority for choosing the switch for default 
route. Metric type determines the method for influencing routing 
decisions for external routes. The default value is 1. 
auth none|password|md5 
Defines the authentication method, as follows: 
  none: No authentication required. 
  password: Authenticates simple passwords so that only trusted 
routing devices can participate. 
  MD5: This parameter is used when MD5 cryptographic 
authentication is required. 
The default is none. 
spf <0-255> 
Sets time interval between two successive SPF (shortest path first) 
calculations of the shortest path tree using the Dijkstra‘s algorithm. The 
default value is 10. 
enable 
Enables the OSPF area. 
disable 
Disables the OSPF area. This is the default. 
delete 
Deletes the OSPF area. 
cur 
Displays the current OSPF configuration.
