No OSPFv3 process is enabled on
an interface by default.
Configuring OSPFv3 area parameters
OSPFv3 has the same stub area, NSSA area, and virtual link features as OSPFv2.
After you split an OSPFv3 AS into multiple areas, the LSA number is reduced and OSPFv3 applications
are extended. To further reduce the size of routing tables and the number of LSAs, configure the
non-backbone areas at an AS edge as stub areas.
A stub area cannot import external routes, but an NSSA area can import external routes into the OSPFv3
routing domain while retaining other stub area characteristics.
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information through the backbone area, so the backbone and
non-backbone areas (including the backbone itself) must be fully meshed. If no connectivity can be
achieved, configure virtual links.
Configuration prerequisites
Before you configure OSPFv3 area parameters, enable OSPFv3.
Configuring a stub area
All the routers attached to a stub area must be configured with the stub command. The no-summary
keyword is only available on the ABR of the stub area.
If you use the stub command with the no-summary keyword on an ABR, the ABR advertises a default
route in an Inter-Area-Prefix LSA into the stub area. No AS External LSA, Inter-Area-Prefix LSA, or other
Inter-Area-Router LSA is advertised in the area. The stub area of this kind is called a totally stub area.
To configure an OSPFv3 stub area:
