LABEL DESCRIPTION

identification purposes.
Area ID Enter a 32-bit ID (that uses the format of an IP address in dotted decimal
notation) that uniquely identifies an area.

authentication. Select None (default) to disable authentication.

interface(s) use different authentication methods than the associated area,
the authentication methods are based on the interface(s) and virtual
interface(s) settings.

a stub area for routes which are external to an OSPF domain. If you do not
set a route cost, no default route is added.

Save link on the top navigation panel to save your changes to the non-
volatile memory when you are done configuring.
