The point is..... I have multiple interfaces on a router, some I want in the
NLSP process and some I want redistributed into the NLSP process as NX
routes.
Currently my tests have indicated it doesn't matter what I use for an area
address as long as I have one, they all jump into the process natively as N
routes.
The area-address 0 0 command is just an all 0's wildcard meaning grab
everything for the process. How do I selectively engage certain networks
into the process as in OSPF?
The only thing enabling NLSP under the interface does is allow the process
to form adjacencies with other NLSP routers. It basically starts sending
hellos when you enable it under the interface.
The documentation on the CD states the area-address is for identifying
networks for the process.
Is there anyone out there who know NLSP? Somebody must have an answer.
I'm running 12.1.1 enterprise code.

Well, gee I guess you could have just done that in the first place.
However, the reason I say it is used to summarize is because you can simply
say
area-address 00
and it will include all IPX networks that are defined using nslp enable on
the interface. Therefore the area-address command is really used to
sumarrize those address on NLSP enabled interfaces. Therefore what other
purpose would area-address serve if you simply enable NLSP or define NLSP by
using nlsp enable under the interface. Area-address is used to SUMMARIZE.

BM_27290area-address
To define a set of network numbers to be part of the current NetWare
Link-Services Protocol (NLSP) area, use the area-address command in router
configuration mode. To remove a set of network numbers from the current NLSP
area, use the no form of this command.BM_1018267

I believe it is really just a tool for aggregating or summarizing NLSP
networks, not defining them.

Running thought some testing the other night and I defined a network between
two routers, network 22. The router had a couple of other networks off other
interfaces involved in IPX RIP processes.
I then added the area-address command to define an exact match, area-address
22 FFFFFFFF.
Guess what, the 22 network appeared as an N route but so did all of the
other attached interfaces that were different networks?
What the heck is going on? I thought the area-address command defined which
networks were part of the routing process like OSPF?
Can anyone help me?
