This optional parameter allows you to specify the network area from which to collect information. AREAS = ALL All areas AREAS = LOCAL The local node's area AREAS = NODE:node-name The area containing the specified node If the AREAS=NODE option is used, the full name or the Phase IV synonym for the node must be supplied. The AREAS parameter is mutually exclusive with the NODES parameter. Only one of these may be used. If neither the AREAS nor the NODES parameter is specified, the default is "AREAS=ALL".
