area <AREA-ID> stub

Description

Creates the stub area with <AREA-ID> if not present. If area is present and not stub area, this command changes the area type to stub area. If the no-summary parameter is used, area type will be stub No-Summary.

The no form of this command unsets the area type as stub. That is, the configured area will be changed to the default normal area. The no area <AREA-ID> stub no_summary command enables sending inter-area routes into the stub area, but will not unset the area as stub.
