Parameter 

Description 

Network Mask 

The IP address mask for the advertised destination. 

E-bit 

The type of external metric. If the E-bit is set, the metric specified is a Type 2 external 

metric. This means the metric is considered larger than any link state path. If the E-bit 

is zero, the specified metric is a Type 1 external metric. This means that is comparable 

directly to the link state metric. 

Forwarding Address 

Data traffic for the advertised destination will be forwarded to this address. If the 

Forwarding Address is set to 0.0.0.0, data traffic will be forwarded instead to the 

advertisement’s originator. 

TOS 

The Type of Service that the following cost is relevant to. 

Metric 

The cost of this route. The interpretation of this metric depends on the external type 

indication (the E - bit above). 

External Route Tag 

A 32-bit field attached to each external route. This is not used by the OSPF protocol 

itself. 

 

The NSSA or Not So Stubby Area is a feature that has been added to OSPF so external routes from ASs 

(Autonomous Systems) can be imported into the OSPF area. As an extension of stub areas, the NSSA feature 

uses a packet translation system used by BRs (Border Routers) to translate outside routes into the OSPF area.  

Including the NSSA 

Consider the following example: 
 

 

Figure 5-32 NSSA Area example 

 
The NSSA ASBR (Not So Stubby Area Autonomous System Border Router) is receiving External Route information 

and translating it as an LSA Type-7 packet that will be distributed ONLY to switches within the NSSA (Area 2 in the 

example above). For this route’s information to enter another area, the LSA Type-7 packet has to be translated into 

an LSA Type-5 packet by the NSSA ABR (Area Border Router) and then is distributed to other switches within the 

other OSPF areas (Area 1 and 2 in the example above). Once completed, new routes are learned and new 

shortest routes will be determined. 
 
To alleviate any problems with OSPF summary routing due to new routes and packets, all NSSA area border 

routers (ABR) must support optional importing of LSA type-3 summary packets into the NSSA. 
 

 

Type-7 LSA Packets
