Keep in mind that the NSSA ABR will translate these 7's to 5's for flooding
into the rest of the OSPF Domain.

The NSSA ABR specifically will do this if you configure it correctly.

Of note, the above router has multiple areas configured yet no interfaces
in area 0. This is not a valid config except in rare situations (see Pat
Murphies nssa-abr drafts) Your area 11 range is irrelevant. Further, the
.11/24 routes are effectively blackholed per the invalid topology and would
be unreachable were it not for the overlap in the rip config

Need to see the lsdb here and particularly the type 5's and their
respective forwarding addresses. 118.1 seems unreachable here and likely
is the forwarding destination for the specific type 5's you are looking
for. Hence, the router cannot post them.
