Creating an OSPFv3 area

Create a Normal, Stub, or Not So Stubby (NSSA) area.

Prerequisites

You must be in the OSPFv3 router configuration context.

Procedure

Create an OSPFv3 area for the routing switch using one of the following commands:

Create a Normal area using the following command: area <area-id>. For command details, see area <AREA-ID>.
Create a Stub area using the following command: area <area-id> stub. For command details, see GUID-78A7FA97-29BE-4ABF-B403-32056180DE8B.html#GUID-78A7FA97-29BE-4ABF-B403-32056180DE8B.
Create a Not So Stubby Area using the command: area <area-id> nssa.

For example, the following command creates a normal area with an area identifier of 10.1.1.1. Area identifier could alternatively be entered in decimal format such as 1.

switch(config-ospfv3-1)# area 1.1.1.1
