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

◆
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
command to specify the cost of a default
summary route sent into a stub by an ABR attached to the stub area.
