RE: NSSA in OSPF

There are a bunch of different ways to configure NSSA. NSSA and stub are
mutually exclusive (you can't configure an area as a stub and a NSSA).

1.) You want Inter-Area routes in your NSSA, and do not want externals
redistributed in by ASBR in other areas to be reachable.

ABR:
router ospf 1
 area 1 nssa

Internal routers in the NSSA:
 router ospf 1
  area 1 nssa

2.) You want Inter-Area routes in your NSSA, and a default-route for
externals redistributed in by ASBR in other areas.

ABR:
router ospf 1
 area 1 nssa default-information-originate

Internal routers in the NSSA:
 router ospf 1
  area 1 nssa

3.) You do not want Inter-Area routes in your NSSA. You want a default-route
to provide connectivity to externals redistributed in by ASBR in other areas
and Inter-Area routes.

ABR:
router ospf 1
 area 1 nssa no-summary
! "default-information-originate" is automagically turned on with
"no-summary"

Internal routers in the NSSA:
 router ospf 1
  area 1 nssa

My question is... Why don't you need a gateway of last resort (or and
"always" tag) on the ABR in order to default-information-originate?

see page 538 of Doyle's routing TCP-IP
quote "area x nssa no-summary"
"To turn area into a somewhat schizophrenically named ""totally stubby
not-so-stubby"" area
This command eliminates all inter-area routes and adds a default from the
ABR

I'm not sure about your problem with "no-summary" but I know that an area
can't be defined as both stub and NSSA...The point of NSSA is that the area
is inherently stub, but it will allow type 7 LSA's to pass through to
advertise about other autonomous systems.
