XAMPLE

This example creates a stub area 10.3.0.0, and assigns all interfaces with

class B addresses 10.3.x.x to the NSSA. It also instructs the router to

generate external LSAs into the NSSA when it is an NSSA ABR or NSSA

ASBR.

Console(config-router)#area 10.3.0.0 nssa default-information-originate

Console(config-router)#network 10.3.0.0 255.255.0.0 area 10.2.0.0

Console(config-router)#

SAGE

All routers in a stub must be configured with the same area ID.

Routing table space is saved in a stub by blocking Type-4 AS summary

LSAs and Type 5 external LSAs. The default setting for this command

completely isolates the stub by blocking Type-3 summary LSAs that

advertise the default route for destinations external to the local area or

the autonomous system.

Use the no-summary parameter of this command on the ABR attached

to the stub to define a totally stubby area. Define an area as a totally

stubby area only if routers in the area do not require summary LSAs

from other areas.

Use the

area default-cost

command to specify the cost of a default

summary route sent into a stub by an ABR attached to the stub area.
