17.5 Configuring OSPF Area Parameters

You can optionally configure several OSPF area parameters. These parameters include
authentication for password-based protection against unauthorized access to an area and stub
areas. Stub areas are areas into which information on external routes is not sent. Instead, the area
border router (ABR) generates a default external route into the stub area for destinations outside
the autonomous system (AS).
Route summarization is the consolidation of advertised addresses into a single summary route to
be advertised by other areas. If network numbers are contiguous, you can use the area range
router configuration command to configure the ABR to advertise a summary route that covers all
networks in the range.
