User Guidelines OSPF is only enabled on an interface if the primary IPv4 address on the interface matches a network area range. Any individual interface can only be attached to a single area. If an interface address matches multiple network area ranges, the interface is assigned to the area for the first matching range. If the ip ospf area command is given for an interface, it overrides any matching network area command. OSPF only advertises IP subnets for secondary IP addresses if the secondary address is within the range of a network area command for the same area as the primary address on the same interface. When a network area command is deleted, matching interfaces are reevaluated against all remaining network area commands. Example The following example sets the number of paths at 2 that OSPF can report for a given destination. console(config-router)#maximum-paths 2 network area The network area command enables OSPFv2 on an interface and sets its area ID if the ip-address of an interface is covered by this network command. Use the "no" form of this command to disable OSPFv2 on an interface. Syntax network ip-address wildcard-mask area area-id no network ip-address wildcard-mask area area-id • ip-address - Base IPv4 address of the network area. • wildcard-mask - The network mask indicating the wildcard bit. A 1 bit in the mask indicates a don't care condition for the corresponding bit in the address. • area-id - The ID of the area (Range: IPv4 address or 32-bit decimal in the range 0-4294967295).
