## Symptoms

- When adding an OSPF Area ID in dotted quad format (X.X.X.X) in the WebUI, the value is truncated after the first decimal point.

For example:

10.10.10.10 is shown as "10.1" and the rest of the value is omitted.

## Cause

Limitation in the appliance WebUI interface for adding the OSPF Area ID.

![WebUI > Device > Advanced Routing > OSPF > Areas New](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/NEW_SK_NOID1759500706433/ospf area id202510031102202.jpg)

## Solution

**Workaround:**

1. Log in to the appliance WebUI.

2. Navigate to **Device** \> **Advanced Routing** \> **OSPF**.

3. Convert the OSPF Area ID IP address (quad format) to decimal format:

   Multiply each of the four numbers by a power of 256 and add them together.

   For example, "10.10.10.10" in decimal format is 168430090.

   (10 \* 256\^3) + (10 \* 256 \^ 2) + (10 \* 256 \^ 1) + (10 \* 256 \^ 0) = (10 \* 16777216) + (10 \* 65536) +(10 \* 256) +(10 \* 1) 167772160 + 655360 + 2560 + 10 = 168430090
4. Enter the decimal format value in the Area section.
