  It will be easy to lab it up.

  R1 ------ Area 0 ------ R2 ------ Area 1 ------- R3

  Set area 1 to nssa and configure R3 to redistribute a connected interface.
Then, do a "Show ip ospf da asbr-summ" on R1. Then try it again without having
Area 1 as NSSA and see the difference.

      Rick,
      Actually I did lab it and it was not permitted,

      R1---area 1--- R2 ---area 0 --- R3 --area 0--- R4--- area 2--- R5

      area 0 backbone
      area 1 normal area
      area 2 is nssa

      R5 ASBR

      on R1 I cannot see the LSA type 4.

      Regards,
      Molomo

        You are correct, the ABR generates a type 4 LSA, when it sees type 5
LSA's
        indeed to describe the location of the ASBR.

        Try to lab it up. Create a topology, insert some external routes in
OSPF
        and issue a 'show ip ospf database' on a router within the NSSA and
see if
        you have a type-4 in your database. It's always good to see the
theory

      being

        confirmed in a lab, at least that is what helps me to understand and
        remember the theory.

         Experts,

          Jeff Doyle says LSA type 4 is allowed in nssa area ( see table
below). I
          would have thought that since LSA 5 is not permitted then no need
to
          generate LSA 4.

          My understanding is , ABR generates LSA 4 based on the type 5, to
describe
          the position of the ASBR.

          Or am I missing something here?

          I have also seen this in Quick Reference Sheet by Anthony Sequeira.
