NOTE:

You are required to use the stub command on routers attached to a stub area.

Using the default-cost command only takes effect on the ABR of a stub area.

The backbone area cannot be a (totally) stub area.

A (totally) stub area cannot have an ASBR because AS external routes cannot be distributed into the stub
area.

Virtual links cannot transit (totally) stub areas.

Configuring an NSSA area

A stub area cannot redistribute routes. You can configure the area as an NSSA area to allow for route

redistribution by keeping other stub area characteristics.
To configure an NSSA area:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.

system-view

N/A

2.

Enter OSPF view.

ospf [ process-id | router-id router-id
| vpn-instance vpn-instance-name ] *

N/A

3.

Enter area view.

area area-id

N/A

4.

Configure the area as an NSSA
area.

nssa [ default-route-advertise |
no-import-route | no-summary |
translate-always |

translator-stability-interval value ] *

Not configured by default.

5.

Specify a cost for the default
route advertised to the NSSA

area.

default-cost cost

Optional.
Defaults to 1.

NOTE:

You are required to use the nssa command on all the routers attached to an NSSA area.

The default-cost command is available only on the ABR/ASBR of an NSSA area.

Configuring a virtual link

Non-backbone areas exchange routing information through the backbone area. Connectivity between

the backbone and non-backbone areas and within the backbone must be maintained.
If necessary physical links are not available for this connectivity maintenance, you can configure virtual

links to solve it.
To configure a virtual link:

Step Command

Remarks

1.

Enter system view.
