IPv4 address or as a four octet unsigned integer ranging from 0-

external LSAs.

candidate - Router translates NSSA LSAs to Type-5 external

LSAs if elected.
never - Router never translates NSSA LSAs to Type-5 external

LSAs.
always - Router always translates NSSA LSAs to Type-5

external LSAs.

no-redistribution - Use this keyword when the router is an NSSA

Area Border Router (ABR) and you want the

no-summary - Allows an area to retain standard NSSA features,

but does not inject inter-area routes into this area.
default-information-originate - When the router is an NSSA
