Re: BGP and NSSA Areas

Stub areas are defined such that all routes entering the stub are summarized
by the ABR by default. Normally ABRs to stub areas will only advertise
internal routes from the stub back into the OSPF domain. NSSA (Not So
Stubby Areas) are a special exception. When external routers are learned in
an NSSA, the route(s) are all summarized to a default route by the ABR and
advertised back into the OSPF area. This can be over-ridden with the "no
default-information-originate" command. If you want to see the BGP routes
in the rest of the OSPF domain, try this command.

Thank You
