Re: default route into NSSA

Hi,

By default NSSA ABR would not inject default into
NSSA.
If you want to inject a default route along with type
3 summary routes into NSSA, you would have to use
"area <id> nssa default-information originate"
command. It will inject a default and IA routes from
your OSPF backbone domain into your NSSA. If you want
to block IA routes to go into NSSA and want all NSSA
routers to follow default to destinations outside the
area, you have to use this command

area <id> nssa no-summary default
information-originate

This will stop all type-3 to go into nssa with the
exception of single type-3 default into the nssa area.
When you do "sh ip route" on any NSSA router you
should see IA* 0/0 route in there.

Hope this makes sense.
