Ramya,
You are right.
To configure an interarea tunnel, you specify on the head-end router a
loosely routed explicit path for the tunnel label switched path (LSP) that
identifies each area border router (ABR) the LSP should traverse using the
next-address loose command. The head-end router and the ABRs along the
specified explicit path expand the loose hops, each computing the path
segment to the next ABR or tunnel destination.
