Configuring OSPF Areas
After splitting an OSPF AS into multiple areas, you can further configure some areas as stub areas or
NSSA areas as needed.
If connectivity between the backbone and a non-backbone area or within the backbone itself cannot be
achieved, you can configure virtual links to solve it.
Prerequisites
Before configuring an OSPF area, you have configured:
z IP addresses for interfaces, making neighboring nodes accessible with each other at the network
layer.
z OSPF basic functions.
