Brian,
Thanks for reply. I liked area range option to summarize host routes.
In my topology:frame network is one area that is area 2.
I also have: R2 (hub) connected to area 0
R1 (spoke) connected to area 1
R3 (spoke) connected to area 3
and virtual links between R1-R2 and R2-R3.
In this case where should I configure area range command ?
Thanks,
Navaid
