set protocols ospf area area-type

Run the command set protocols ospf area area-type to define an OSPF area type. Two types of areas can be specified here. To create a stub area, choose the key word stub, or choose nssa, to create OSPF not-so-stubby-area. Optional parameter vrf can be used to specify a VRF, if no VRF is specified the command takes effect on the default VRF.

Optional parameter instance-id can be included to specify the OSPFv2 multi-instance ID in the default VRF.

Multiple instances of OSPF are only allowed in the default VRF. A maximum of 8 instance can be configured in the default VRF. In non-default VRFs, only single instance OSPF can be configured.

The command delete protocols ospf area stub can be used to remove this configuration.
