according to documnet:
"All networks on which NLSP is enabled must fall under
the area address prefix. This configuration is for
future compatibility.When Level 2 NLSP becomes
available, the only route advertised for the area will
be the area address prefix (the prefix represents all
networks within the area)."

But I found there is only level-1 now, at least under
ver 12.0. And in my test lab, I found I can get
correct routes through nlsp as long as I use the same
area-address on both router, even the area range had
nothing with the ipx network numbers. my test lab:
              11 ipxwan 22
111(internal) e0--r1--s0--s0--r2--e0 222(internal)
even using "area-address 2 FFFFFFFE" on both sides, I
got correct routing table. So the really number of
area-address is no relationship with ipx network
number under level 1, right?

another thing that is diffreent from ip ospf, the
default action of ipx nlsp is that it redistribute
connected network automaticlly, even you didn't add
ipx nlsp enable on that interface.and you can't
controll this action. In my lab, I didn't add ipx nlsp
enable on the ethernet. but I could see it on the
other side, that route was tagged as "N". I tried to
found such information at doc, but couldn't find. Can
someone give more detail?
