When configured on the ABR, prevents any Type 3 and Type 4 summary
LSAs from being injected into the area. The only exception is that a default
route is injected into the stub/totally stubby area by the ABR as a Type 3
LSA. Enabling this parameter makes the area a so-called totally stubby
area, which can only have Types 1 and 2. This parameter is disabled by
default.

Defaults

No areas are created.

Once created, the type of the area cannot be changed. The only exception to this rule is that an

Usage Guidelines

Enter no area stub to delete a stub area.
