Basic OSPF configuration example
Network requirements
Enable OSPF on all switches, and split the AS into three areas.
Configure Switch A and Switch B as ABRs.
Figure 22: Network diagram
Configuration procedure
Configure IP addresses for interfaces. (Details not shown.)
Enable OSPF:
# Configure Switch A.

# Configure Switch B.

# Configure Switch D.
