Usage

The NSSA Translator Role specifies whether or not an NSSA router will unconditionally translate Type‐7 LSAs to Type‐5 LSAs when acting as an NSSA border router.

When the always parameter is specified with this command, the router will always translate Type‐ 7 LSAs, regardless of the translator state of other NSSA border routers. When the candidate parameter is specified, the NSSA router will participate in the translator election process described in RFC 3101, “The OSPF Not‐So‐Stubby Area (NSSA) Option.”

Use the no form of this command to return the configured translator role to the default of disabled.

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

area nssa translator-stab-intv
