area nssa

Mode

Router OSPFv3 configuration: C3(su)->router(Config-router)#

Usage

Example

This example sets the default route cost to 50 for area 20.

C3(su)->router(Config-router)# area 20 default-cost 50

area nssa

This command configures the specified area to function as a not so stubby area (NSSA).

Syntax

area areaid nssa no area areaid nssa

Parameters

areaid

Specifies the area ID in IP address format (dotted‐quad) or as a decimal

 

value.

 

 

Defaults

None.

Mode

Router OSPFv3 configuration: C3(su)‐>router(Config‐router)#

Usage

An NSSA allows some external routes represented by external Link State Advertisements (LSAs) to be imported into it. This is in contrast to a stub area that does not allow any external routes. External routes that are not imported into an NSSA can be represented by means of a default route. This configuration is used when an OSPFv3 internetwork is connected to multiple non‐ OSPF routing domains.

The no form of this command changes the NSSA back to a plain area.

Example

This example shows how to configure area 20 as an NSSA.

C3(su)->router(Config-router)# area 20 nssa
