RE: OSPF area ID (big fight at work)

Yes, it seems some people are confusing the Process ID with the Area ID.

The process ID is stated when enabling OSPF or when entering an existing
OSPF process. The process ID is only locally significant.

router(config)#router ospf 100 <--- this is the Process ID

The Area ID is not locally significant or OSPF would never work. The area id
is carried in the LSA. This is how you can see all areas in your OSPF
internetwork with the "sh ip ospf database" command.

Someone PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.

I assume by area ID that you mean process id (e.g., router bgp 100), and if
that is true yes the process ID is local to the router only. Area id (area
0, area 10, etc), is definitely not local to the router or OSPF would never
work.

Can you clarify?
