>From the Cisco technical documentation OSPF Design Guide, it mentioned that "the sequence in which the OSPF network commands are listed is very important." Why is this so? It explains that in the router's configuration shown below, "if the network 203.250.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0.0.0.0 statement was put before the network 203.250.13.41 0.0.0.0 area 1 statement, all of the interfaces would be in area 0, which is incorrect because the loopback is in area 1." router ospf 10 network 203.250.13.1 0.0.0.0 area 1 network 203.250.0.0 0.0.255.255 area 0.0.0.0 I don't get it. Can somebody please explain.
