Re: Disabling Type-7 to type-5 conversion

This discussion led me to think about this a little.Here is bit more info on
this topic I found.

   -

   Bit P - This bit is used to tell the NSSA ABR whether to translate
   type 7 into type 5.
   -

   No Type 7/5 translation means bit P = 0.
   -

   Type 7/5 translation means bit P = 1.
   -

   If bit P = 0, then the NSSA ABR must not translate this LSA into Type
   5. This happens when NSSA ASBR is also an NSSA ABR.
   -

   If bit P = 1, then the NSSA ABR (if there are multiple NSSA ABRs, the
   one with highest router ID) must translate this type 7 LSA into a type 5
   LSA."
