no area areaid nssa translator-role
Parameters
Defaults
By default, the translator role is disabled.
Mode
Router OSPFv3 configuration: C3(su) ‐ >router(Config ‐ router)#
Usage
The NSSA Translator Role specifies whether or not an NSSA router will unconditionally translate
Type ‐ 7 LSAs to Type ‐ 5 LSAs when acting as an NSSA border router.
When the always parameter is specified with this command, the router will always translate Type ‐

Use the no form of this command to return the configured translator role to the default of
disabled.
