   I didn't know that you could do that. I couldn't find anything in the
   Open Forum.
   I have only had an area that is directly connected to the backbone
   working as NSSA.
   
   So let me think.. type 5's are not allowed in the area and the type
   7's get converted into type 5's when injecting them into area 0.
   
   I guess you should try to debug what is going on. When the ABR for the
   NSSA area passes traffic to the other ABR via the virtual link, which
   is connected to area 0, is the NSSA ABR sending type 5's across the
   vitual link?
   
   I'd say get rid of authentication - like you mentioned and double
   check the config on the routers in the virtual link transit area.
   Maybe get the virtual link up without NSSA configured and no ASBR in
   there and then observe the results as you add it back?
   
   Good luck although I guess it probably won't work..

   Subject: NSSA with Virtual links
   
   Is there a known issue with NSSA areas and virtual links? Whenever I
   try to connect a NSSA area to Area 0 via a virtual link, none of the
   type 7 routes get converted to type 5. I removed all authentication
   and I am still having problems. If I inject a network into the NSSA
   area with the network statement it makes it to area 0, but if I
   redistribute the network in on any NSSA router except the NSSA ABR the
   conversion doesn't happen. Am I missing a bit of theory here?
   
   
   
   Thanks
