may not be specified as area 0. The backbone interface may be a virtual
link.

Each OSPF router must be configured into at least one OSPF area
(area[x.x.x.x]). If more than one area is configured, at least one must be
the backbone.
authType {none | simple}
OSPF specifies authentication scheme per area. Each interface in the area
must use the same authentication scheme although it may use a different
authentication key. The current valid values are none for no
authentication and simple for simple password authentication. The
default is none.
networks ip_addr/l ... ip_addr/l
Specifies the networks that compose the area. This helps reduce area
LSA traffic.
areaType {stub | nssa | normal}
The type of area. Normal is the default setting.

external destination.
A “not-so-stub area.” No ASEs flooded into area,
but can generate ASEs within an area.
Normal OSPF transit area.
defRtCost defCost
The cost is used for injecting a default route into OSPF stub or nssa area.
