90 Open Shortest Path First Enhancements Release Note

When the NSSA border router is acting as a translator it sets the Nt bit in router

LSAs it originates into the NSSA.

An elected translator loses its translator role when another NSSA border router with a higher router identifier is elected as translator or an NSSA router configured to always translate gains border router status. When an elected translator loses its translator role, it continues to translate Type-7 LSAs for an additional period of time set by the nssastability parameter. This allows a more stable transition to the newly elected translator and minimises excessive flushing of translated Type-7 LSAs.

The nssatranslator and nssastability parameters are only valid when stubarea is set to nssa.

You can display the current translator role for an area using the command:

show ospf area=area-number

You can display the current translator role for all areas using the command:

show ospf area full
