Most people that I know (including Microsoft's Routing Lab scenario)
just use a single number. Starting with Area 0, then Area 1, Area 2....

Subject: OSPF - Cool + an area question [7:11861]
This is cool!
I just love to read about a lot of boring stuff in a book, sit down and
try
it, and then find out that everything I just read was actually true, and
that it makes perfect sense.
I just took three of my routers and one by one enabled OSPF on one
interface
at a time, and after each configuration, I went ahead and did a 'show ip
ospf int' to see what actually was going on, and was happy to see that
it
was what I had expected to happen, because I had just read about it in
my
book.
That's the fun part of studying - I wish that would have been the same
case
with all the M$ stuff I studied years ago :-(
Anyway, I do have one OSPF question to those of you who have been out
there
messing with it many times:
What's the most common/practical method when designing the OSPF network.
Is
it to give the area a single decimal value (n), or one that matches
and/or
looks like an IP address (a.b.c.d), which could be the same as the
network?
Also, what method does Cisco prefer if any over the other?
Thanks for comments on this,
Ole
