Hello Mehdi

You attempted to issue the following command:

PE1(config)#mpls traffic-eng area 0

However, you are in global configuration mode. This command is only available under OSPF configuration mode. So the correct method, as shown in the lesson is to do this:

PE1(config)#router ospf 1
PE1(config-router)#mpls traffic-eng area 0

The above command is issued under the OSPF configuration mode which is entered using the router ospf 1 command. So yes, you should issue the commands you suggested instead.

I hope this has been helpful!
