The default cost is 1.
The default-cost command takes
effect only on the ABR of a stub

irtual links cannot transit a stub area or totally stub area.
Configuring an NSSA area
A stub area cannot import external routes, but an NSSA area can import external routes into the OSPF
routing domain while keeping other stub area characteristics.
To configure an NSSA area, issue the nssa command on all the routers attached to the area. To configure
a totally NSSA area, you also need to configure the nssa no-summary command on the ABR. The ABR
of a totally NSSA area does not advertise inter-area routes into the area.
To configure an NSSA area:

NSSA area and a totally NSSA
area.

irtual links cannot transit a stub area or totally stub areas.
Configuring a virtual link
Non-backbone areas exchange routing information via the backbone area. Connectivity between the
backbone and non-backbone areas and within the backbone must be available.
You can configure virtual links to ensure the connectivity when physical links are not enough. Virtual links
cannot transit a stub area or totally stub areas.
