Create or Delete an OSPF Area
Below the global OSPF parameters is a section dedicated to creating or deleting OSPF areas. Before you
configure an area, you must create it. Enter an area ID in the same format as an IP address, (for
example, 1.2.3.4).
This portion of the window is also shown in Figure 47. For further details see“Backbone Area (Area
0.0.0.0)” on page 212.
