Parameter: Area Address (hex)
Default: 0x490040
Options: Any valid OSI area address entered in hexadecimal notation that is
between 3 and 13 bytes long
Function: Identifies the local area in the routing domain where the router resides.
Instructions: If you registered your OSI network with an addressing authority, the area
address also reflects the location of the router in the global addressing
domain. Enter the entire area address portion of the NSAP address
allocated to your network as follows:
• Check with your administrative authority to determine the NSAP
addresses that have been allocated to your OSI network.
• Enter the entire area address portion of the NSAP address that reflects
the location of the router, including the routing domain and area
portions that identify where in the local network the router resides.
Either you or your administrative authority should provide the
identifiers for the local routing domain and area portions of the
address.
• If you have not registered your OSI network with an addressing
authority, then you can accept the default area address (0x490040).
MIB Object ID: 1.3.6.1.4.1.18.3.5.6.13.1
Note: You must assign the same area address to all routers residing in the
same local area. You must assign different area addresses to routers that reside
in different areas.
