Dear All,
I've a scenario to configure OSPF multi-area in 3-tier topology where Core and Distribution are 4500X series running with VSS and Enterprise service image with full layer3 support.
However, my access layer and the User Access Node where I've users (operators) connected to monitor the network are layer 2 with LAN base image. Server farm core nodes are also 4500X running with VSS and Enterprise service license.
As you can see in the attached topology I made on the packet tracer (prior to deploying the solution) I configured only the backbone area 0 on distribution, campus-core and server-farm-core and it works fine with single area i.e area 0.
I've to run vlans to give users layer 2 access to the network management team via user-access-node, and wireless and ip telephones are planned to be connected to the access switches also via layer 2.
Kindly, let me know how can I configure different OSPF areas for the 4 distribution blocks, Campus Core and the Server Farm Core nodes.
It'd be great if someone can share the configs to make it easy for me to understand the implementation of multiple areas in the design.
Thanking you in advance.
