OSPFv3 NSSA
NSSA (Not-So-Stubby-Area) is a stub area that does not support Type-5 LSAs, but supports Type-7 LSAs to forward external links. Initially
ASBR (Autonomous System Border Router) forwards the external links through Type-7 LSAs to the Area Border Router (ABR) of NSSA,
which in turn converts them into Type-5 LSAs and forwards them to the rest of the OSPF domain.
NOTE
: To support NSSA area, all the OSPF routers in that area should be congured with NSSA.
NSSA Options
NSSA can be congured with the following options:
1 Default-information-originate – To inject a default route using Type-7 LSAs — NSSA routers need to have access to the rest of the
OSPF routers in the autonomous system. To facilitate this, the default route is injected into the NSSA area through a Type-7 LSA. This
can be generated either by NSSA ASBR or NSSA ABR.
2 No-redistribute – To restrict Type-7 LSAs — When NSSA ASBR is also an ABR, redistributed external routes need not be translated
from Type-7 to Type-5 LSAs. ABR will directly inject external routes through Type-5 LSAs into the OSPF domain. It does not send
Type-7 LSAs into the NSSA area.
3 No-summary – To act as totally stubby area — NSSA area can be converted intoa totally stubby area to reduce the number of Type-3
LSAs. Once it is congured, NSSA ABR will inject Type-3 LSAs into the NSSA area for default routes. The remaining Type-3 LSAs are
not allowed inside this area.
Conguration Task List for OSPFv3 (OSPF for IPv6)
This section describes the conguration tasks for Open Shortest Path First version 3 (OSPF for IPv6) on the switch.
The conguration options of OSPFv3 are the same as those options for OSPFv2, but you may congure OSPFv3 with dierently labeled
commands. Specify process IDs and areas and include interfaces and addresses in the process. Dene areas as stub or totally stubby.
