OSPF schema question

[injector22]

I have a router with the following OSPF schema

router ospf 100
router-id 192.168.160.2
log-adjacency-changes
area 0.0.160.0 range 192.168.160.0 255.255.252.0
network 192.168.91.80 0.0.0.3 area 0.0.0.0
network 192.168.160.0 0.0.1.255 area 0.0.160.0

192.168.160.0/24 is a vlan, I need to add a new entry to the table for another vlan i have in the range of 10.0.0.0/22. my problem is that i don't understand the first entry

area 0.0.160.0 range 192.168.160.0 255.255.252.0

i've never seen an OSPF entry formatted like this.

secondly

if i was to add the entry to my 10.0.0.0/23 Vlan, what area would i use?

would this work?

area 10.0.0.0 range 10.0.0.0 255.255.252.0
network 10.0.0.0 0.0.3.255 area 10.0.0.0

thanks.

Summarisation...

You state that 192.168.160.0/24 is a Subnet/VLAN. The network statement that covers this is 192.168.160.0/23 and puts it in Area 0.0.160.0. This router is an ABR between are 0.0.160.0 and the backbone (Area 0). The 'area range' statement means it will advertise a summary of 192.168.160.0/22 to the backbone instead of the /24 it has an interface in.

so first question is: why are you changing IP Schemes?
is this a new area, area , or part of backbone (area 0.0.0.0) or is it logically part of area 0.0.160.0

that said, all you need is :

network 10.0.0.0 0.0.3.255 area X.X.X.X

where X.X.X.X is:
-if backbone: 0.0.0.0
-say you fix the IP scheme and put it part of area 0.0.160.0 with a contiguous IP addy.
-its a totaly new area and you have no regard for IP scheme 2

We must go always forward, not backward
always up, not down and always twirling twirling towards infinity.
