Angelo,
It is just 2 ways of representing it on the router, and is strictly a mater
of personal preference. In fact you can configure two routers using
different formats on each one, and as long as the numbers match, it will
work. For example a router configured with area 1000 will work just fine
with a router configured with area 0.0.0.3.232.
Sometimes a dotted notation will be used in a hub and spoke topology, where
each spoke is in a separate area. To simplify troubleshooting, you can use
the same area number as the block of IPs assigned to that spoke.
