    Title: RE: OSPF stub area question
    
   You said that behind the hub router is an ASBR. Forgive me if its too
   obvious but is that ASBR in the same area as the hub, or to put it
   another way are the hub/spoke routers in a separate area to the ASBR?
   ASBR's cannot be internal to stub areas because their very nature is
   to inject external routes into an area.
   
   Post the relevant portions of the config for more detail.

   Subject: OSPF stub area question
   
   I have a setup where the WAN interface of a hub router and the two
   spoke
   routers are configured in an OSPF stub area. Behind the hub router,
   there
   is an ASBR redistributing from EIGRP to OSPF. In both of my spoke
   routers,
   I am seeing OSPF external routes showing up in the routing table
   (designated
   "O E1").
   
   It is my understanding that a stub area should not have AS external
   routes
   advertised into it and a totally stubby area should not have anything
   but a
   default route advertised in. If this is the case, why are these AS
   external
   routes showing up?
