Hi, Lim
1) Yes, area type is one of the attributes which must be agreed by all
router in the same area, others like mtu, area-id, ....etc. So I think both
r2 and r3 need area nssa command.

2) About r2 can't see r3's loopback interface.
Because area3 is not directly connected to area0.
You might need area23 to be the transit-area to solve this issue.
But since in question 1), area23 is nssa area so it can't configured as the
transit-area.

So I think one of the solutions is that you might create a tunnel interface
between r1 & r3 and make area3 truly connected to area0.
The other solution might be put area3 on r3 on another ospf process-id and
redistribute between the two ospf process.

Subject: ospf nssa qustion

Hi Group,

If i have this network

r1------r2-------r3------r4

r1 and r2: ospf area 0

r2 and r3: ospf nssa, area 23

r3 and r4: ripv2

1) do i configure "nssa" commands on both r2 and r3?
   i find that it works even when i just do it at r2.
   I think it is need on both r2 and r3, stub flags
   have to agree

2) if i create a area3 in r3, put a loopback interface
   into area 3, r2 doesnt get that route

   that means can i add another ospf area on the edge
of
   nssa area, r3 ? that might be the reason why r2
cannot
   receive the route when i do that?

Appreciate any inputs

Thanks

Lim
