To get our feet wet, let's configure OSPF on asbr-b1 and asbr-a1. The <strong>network</strong>'s<br />

<strong>to</strong>pology, as well as <strong>the</strong> IP addressing hierarchy, has an effect on how well OSPF<br />

functions. Because all inter-area traffic must flow across <strong>the</strong> backbone <strong>network</strong>, it<br />

makes sense <strong>to</strong> have all <strong>the</strong> WAN and backbone LAN <strong>network</strong>s reside in area 0.0.0.0<br />

and <strong>to</strong> treat each of <strong>the</strong> respective LANs as <strong>the</strong>ir own area. When you are designing<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>network</strong> <strong>to</strong>pology and/or partitioning <strong>the</strong> <strong>network</strong> in<strong>to</strong> areas, it is a good idea <strong>to</strong><br />

list which contains each of <strong>the</strong> routers and lists which router interface is in which<br />

area. This helps you visualize <strong>the</strong> traffic flow.<br />
