I'm not sure why you would wish to put this on a non-ABR, since by
definition the stub area assignments are made on ABR's ... otherwise, yes it
would screw things up ... for one, neighbors must agree that a connection is
a stub connection, so all routers "neighbored" with your now-stub router
would need to be defined as such ... as well, now you are limiting, via the
type of stub area that you've defined (stub, NSSA, TS-NSSA, etc), the types
of LSA's that will propagate ... then there's troubleshooting this mess ...
all in all, not a good way to spend a morning in the lab ... use stubs if
they say, otherwise avoid them ... HTH

6 days to San Jose ... I'm feeling ill ... ;)

Hi,

I know that you only need to configure totally stubby on an ABR, but if you
do it on other routers in the area (non-ABR) does it cause any problems or
is it just over configuration.
