Syntax 
network ip-address ip-mask 
undo network ip-address ip-mask 
View 
OSPF Area view 
Parameter 
ip-address: Address of the network segment where the interface resides. 
ip-mask: IP address wildcard (similar to the complement of the IP address mask), which 
also supports IP address mask input. 
Description 
Use the network command to configure the interfaces running OSPF. 
Use the undo network command to cancel the interfaces running OSPF.  
By default, interfaces do not belong to any OSPF area. 
With the two parameters, ip-address and ip-mask, one or more interfaces can be 
configured as an area. To run the OSPF protocol on one interface, the main IP address 
of this interface must belong to the network segment specified by this command. If only 
the secondary IP address of the interface is in the range of the network segment 
specified by this command, this interface will not run OSPF. 
Related command: ospf. 
Example 
# Specify the interfaces whose main IP addresses are in the segment range of 
10.110.36.0 to run OSPF and specify the number of the OSPF area (where these 
interfaces are located) as 6.
