Configuring an NSSA area

A stub area cannot import external routes, but an NSSA area can import external routes into the OSPF

routing domain while retaining other stub area characteristics.
Do not configure the backbone area as an NSSA area or totally NSSA area.
To configure an NSSA area, configure the nssa command on all the routers attached to the area.
To configure a totally NSSA area, configure the nssa command on all the routers attached to the area

and configure the nssa no-summary command on the ABR. The ABR of a totally NSSA area does not

advertise inter-area routes into the area.
To configure an NSSA area:
