Usage Information
To enable OSPF on an interface, the network area command must include, in its
range of addresses, the primary IP address of an interface.
NOTE: An interface can be attached only to a single OSPF area.
If you delete all the network area commands for Area 0, the show ip ospf
command output does not list Area 0.
