You must use the
stub
command on all the routers connected to a Stub area to configure the area with
the stub attribute.
Use the
default-cost
command to configure the cost of the default route advertised by an ABR to a
Stub area or NSSA.
OSPF advertises a default route in the following cases:
z
When a (totally) stub area is configured, the ABR of the area automatically generates a default
route.
z
After the
nssa no-summary
command is used on the ABR of an NSSA area, the NSSA ABR
advertises a default route into the area.
z
After the
nssa default-route-advertise
command is configured on an NSSA ABR, the ABR
generates a default route into the NSSA regardless of whether the default route is available. If the
nssa default-route-advertise
command is configured on an NSSA ASBR, only when a default
route is available on the ASBR can the router generate the default route into the attached area.
