The document describes different OSPF area types including normal, stub, totally stubby, and NSSA areas. It shows the configuration of OSPF on various routers to create these area types and validate the expected routing behavior and LSAs flooded in each area. The key area types configured are normal area 0, stub area 456, totally stubby area 456, and NSSA area 789. The document verifies the routing tables and LSAs on routers within each area to check that they receive only the expected routes and LSAs for that area type.
