Open Shortest Path First (OSPFv2 and OSPFv3) | 711
Configure stub areas
OSPF supports different types of LSAs to help reduce the amount of router processing within the areas.
Type 5 LSAs are not flooded into stub areas; the Area Border Router (ABR) advertises a default route into
the stub area to which it is attached. Stub area routers use the default route to reach external destinations
To ensure connectivity in your OSPFv2 network, never configure the backbone area as a stub area.
Use these commands in the following sequence, starting in EXEC Privilege mode to configure a stub area.
Use the
show ip ospf database
process-id
database-summary
command syntax (Figure 413) in the
EXEC Privilege mode To view which LSAs are transmitted.
Figure 32-12. Command Example: show ip ospf
process-id
database database-summary
To view information on areas, use the
show ip ospf
process-id
command in the EXEC Privilege mode.

Process ID is the ID assigned when configuring
OSPFv2 globally
(page 58) .
vrf name :
Enter the VRF key word and instance name to
