ProSafe M4100 and M7100 Managed Switches
Inter-area Router
The examples in this section show you how to configure a M4100 and M7100 Managed
Switch first as an inter-area router and then as a border router. They show two areas, each
with its own border router connected to one inter-area router.
The following figure shows a network segment with an inter-area router connecting areas
0.0.0.2 and 0.0.0.3.
The sample script shows the commands used to configure a M4100 and
M7100 Managed Switch as the inter-area router in the diagram by enabling OSPF on port
1/0/2 in area 0.0.0.2 and port 1/0/3 in area 0.0.0.3.
