Configure OSPF area

CLI Command Description

config area

edit 0.0.0.0

An area is a logical grouping of contiguous networks and routers in the same area with the same link-state database and topology.

Note: The current release only supports Area 0 called the backbone area, and does not support multiple areas. All routers inside an area must have the same area ID to become OSPF neighbors. You can add Area 0 by editing Area 0.0.0.0

Example configuration:

ForitExtender# config router ospf

config area

edit 0.0.0.0
