Routing
OSPF
an ASBR. Typically, OSPF would not permit the external routes to be distrib-
uted into the stub area. However, internal routers in an NSSA can receive
specially defined LSAs for external routes.
LSA Types
Routers within an area exchange LSAs Type 1 and 2 to synchronize their
databases. Routers can also transmit LSAs Type 3, 4, and 5 between areas
so that they can learn how to route inter-area traffic. Table 9-14 summaries
the different LSA types.
