Added notes dynamicrouting_ospf.rst with alternative configurations and some caveats.

Added notes on disabled networks still adds Area Range config to OSPF.
Added Area Range purpose in a simplistic manner (http://docs.frrouting.org/en/latest/ospfd.html#clicmd-area-0-4294967295-range-A.B.C.D-M-advertise-cost-0-16777215)
Added notes on interfaces for route advertisement with a configured area as an alternative to networks configuration.

Networks

You can add only the networks that OSPF should send and received routing updates and/or area range summarizations, Networks to be advertized can be configured as Interfaces.

This will add Firewall Filtering rules for OSPF to work properly, you can add and enable only the networks where OSPF is going to send and receive updates.
Disabled networks still add the Area Range for a given Area to the OSPF config file, you can use this for route summarization.

The area describes which routers belong to the same group (autonomous system). This value is a 32 bit integer, which is entered in dotted decimal notation (like an IPv4 address is usually written).

You can add the interfaces with local networks that OSPF should advertized, these interfaces need an Area and should be added has Passive Interfaces in order to work, this type of configuration reduces Firewall Filter Rules.
