Configuration rules

If a router is to operate as an ASBR, you must enable the ASBR capability at the system level.

Redistribution must be enabled on routers configured to operate as ASBRs.

All router ports must be assigned to one of the defined areas on an OSPF router. When a port
is assigned to an area, all corresponding subnets on that port are automatically included in the
assignment.
