just checking, did you look at 16.2 User Guide to see how the enhancement to allow path computation across areas works? Look at page 1265
Starting with ExtremeXOS 16.2, the path-computation keyword specifies computation strategy for calculating a path to the LSP destination. "full" requires the ingress node to full calculate a path to the LSP destination. "partial" allows the ingress node to calculate only part of the path to the LSP destination. In this case, it would be to the ABR, and the ABR would calculate the rest of the way (into the other area).
by default the setting is "full".
