NSSA ASBR can generate a default only when it has a default route in its
routing table.

NSSA ABR can generate a default route with or without a default route in its
own routing table.

I ran into this issue today. I had a router with an EIGRP interface, an
OSPF area 0 interface, and a couple of interfaces in a NSSA (regular NSSA,
not 'no-summary'). That router wouldn't send a default route into the NSSA
area until I put in a 'default network' command. BTW, is a default network
considered a static route???

No, you do not need a static default route for OSPF to inject the default
route to the other routers when using 'no-summary' with NSSA, which I've
seen being described as an "NSSA Totally stub area".

I would not answer so confidently if I didn't have this setup in my lab
right now, and double checked it twice before replying. :)

If anyone believes otherwise, please correct me. Thanks.
