The important thing to remember is that "process ID" is only *locally*
significant. For example, Router A is a neighbor of Router B in OSPF area
0.0.0.0. However, Router A's OSPF process ID is 3 while Router B's OSPF
Process ID is 7. That doesn't matter as far as their exchanges are
concerned. They only need to agree on the area they're in, the type of
area, their timer settings, etc.
AS number (as in "router eigrp 12") is analogous to the OSPF area. All
routers in that AS must agree on what the AS number is. AS number,
therefore, is *globally* significant.

Subject: confused !!!
Hi folks,
Can you help
I 'm curently preparing for the BSCN exam which I hope to take end Jan
beginning Feb. But I seem to be confused on some terminology on OSPF
configuration. Consider the following line: router ospf 1
I know 1 is the proccess ID. The problem is how does this differ from the AS
or area ?
In contrast, in the following command router eigrp 200. 200 is the AS
Is there a reason for this?
I'll appreciate any help.
Peace
