Hi,
interface-specific parameters can be defined globally or per area.
But they are applied to the interfaces only if the interfaces are
declared afterwards.
Or is the GLOBAL CONFIURATION section the better place for this?
I opted for the AREA section because I consider it unlikely a user adds
global parameters at the end of the config file. But who knows. ;-)
