Loopback interfaces also help the OSPF process. OSPF picks the highest interface address as the router-id and a Loopback interface
address has a higher precedence than other interface addresses.

Conguring Stub Areas
OSPF supports dierent types of LSAs to help reduce the amount of router processing within the areas.
Type 5 LSAs are not ooded into stub areas; the ABR advertises a default route into the stub area to which it is attached. Stub area routers
use the default route to reach external destinations.
To ensure connectivity in your OSPFv2 network, never congure the backbone area as a stub area.
To congure a stub area, use the following commands.
1 Review all areas after they were congured to determine which areas are NOT receiving type 5 LSAs.
EXEC Privilege mode
show ip ospf process-id [vrf] database database-summary
2 Enter CONFIGURATION mode.
EXEC Privilege mode
configure
3 Enter ROUTER OSPF mode.
CONFIGURATION mode
router ospf process-id [vrf]
Process ID is the ID assigned when conguring OSPFv2 globally.
4 Congure the area as a stub area.
