contains the local address prefix of the interface.

Enable OSPF on the interface, optionally restricted to just the IP address
- given by `ADDR`, putting it in the `AREA` area. Per interface area settings
- take precedence to network commands
- (:clicmd:`network A.B.C.D/M area A.B.C.D`).

- If you have a lot of interfaces, and/or a lot of subnets, then enabling OSPF
- via this command may result in a slight performance improvement.
