Eddie,

Do Not Age! I do remember it this time.
On the ABRs, there are some type 5 LSAs and they have been advertised to the ba
ckbone. I found them on a backbone router. But what amaze me is I cannot see th
em in the routing table!
However, these type 5 LSAs are all advertised by ABRs (ADV Router in ospf datab
ase) and the link IDs are just a subset of those of type 7. All type 7 LSAs are
 still type 7 on the ABRs. How can it happen?
I use three versions of IOS. If any one of them has some problem, could this ha
ppen? My IOS versions are:
ABR1: IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-JS56I-M), Version 11.3(11a)T1,
ABR2: IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-JOS56I-M), Version 12.0(3)T3,
NSSA ASBR: IOS (tm) L3 Switch/Router Software (CAT2948G-IN-M), Version 12.0(7)W
X5(15a)

Wu,

     DNA stands for "Do Not Age". You must be using a OSPF demand circuit some
where. If you look on your router where you are doing the redistribute you wil
l see your LSA's as type 7. But once it gets to the ABR it will convert them t
o type 5's. Try using the summary command on the ABR. I read two different Ci
sco docs that said two different things about the summary command when doing th
is. One said you must use the summary command to enable the type 7 to 5 transl
ation, and another said you didn't have to? If your ABR has them as type 5's a
nd is not advertising them, you might want to change the IOS. You might have a
 software problem.

Eddie,
I have tried it, but it did not work. Unless I use explicit redistribution on N
SSA ABR, those routes cannot be seen on other routers outside the NSSA. Also I
can't see any output as type 7 LSA's as type 5 LSA's. May it be caused by my so
mewhat complex topology?
Another question, could you (or anyone else) tell me what the DNA means in the
following output?

A OSPF NSSA does this by default when you are redistributing. Certain CCO docs
 will tell you to use the summary command to control/enable this process, but i
t is not required. You might have some problems with certain revisions of code
. To make sure things are working do a "show ip ospf database" and you should
see the type 7 LSA's as type 5 LSA's.

I want to set the P-bit in type 7 LSA so that it can be translated into a type
5 LSA and flooded throughout the other areas. But I have not found the command(
s). Could anyone please tell me how to do that?

Thanks,
Jiang
