Hi,
There is an important distinction that you need to be aware of:
- when you configure a standard NSSA (without the no-summary), NO default routes are injected
- when you configure a totally stubby NSSA (with the no-summary), a type-3 default is injected
- when you configure a standard NSSA together with the default-information-originate keyword, a type-7 default is injected
- when you configure both a totally stubby NSSA and the default-information-originate keyword, both type-3 and type-7 defaults are injected (see 'sh ip ospf database'). You only see the default resulting from the type-3 being installed since its an internal route compared to the external type-7
So there are differences between the two if you look deep enough...
Paresh.

In the older versions of the IOS code (I believe 12.1 and earlier if
memory serves me correct), NSSA routers would not automatically generate a
default route into the stub network. Thus the default-originate command
was required.
With 12.2 or late, NSSA routers behave the same as a stub and
totally-stubby ABR and automatically inject the default route.
So to answer your question, with 12.2 or later there is no benefit. With
12.1 or earlier it was necessary to inject a default route into the NSSA.
Take care,
Paul
