Thanks for your answer  and I know I can configure up to 4294967295 areas in one OSPF process id.But these areas really can running on the same time in one OSPF process id?

Yes, that can.

Also regarding your customer wanting 300 areas for 300 sites, it can work fine, but managing 300 different areas maybe cumbersome. They could put every 10 sites in one area for a total of 30 areas. This is easier to manage.

Thank you.

And for my customer. one sites is a city LAN network system,it include more than 50 device in a area.So they ask me does them can configure 300 areas. In view of isolation 300 different areas maybe clationumbersome. Do I suggest they one state is a ospf Process id,and redistribute ospf process for  communication.
