Router
Configures
NSSA.
The following options are configurable for NSSA:
•
default-information-originate
This option is configuration for allowing default path of Type-7 in NSSA. It means
routing path without routing information will use the interface which is allowed in de-
fault type-7 path.
metric
is for metric value,
metric-type
is for type of finding the path.
metric-type 1
uses internal path cost with external path cost as a cost,
metric type 2
always uses external cost value only.
•
no-redistribution
This
option
is configuration in NSSA for restriction to retransmit the routing informa-
tion which is from outside.
•
no-summary
This
option
is for restriction to exchange routing information between OSPF areas.
•
translator-role
NSSA-LSA (Link State Advertisement) has three types according to the way of
process
type.
always
changes all NSSA-LSA into Type-5 LSA.
candidate
changes
NSSA-LSA into Type-5 LSA when it is translator.
never
does not change NSSA-LSA.
NSSA uses ASBR when it transmits Stub Area or other routing protocol Area into OSPF.
In this case, if other routing protocol has default path, use
default-information-originate
command to configure the all of default path is using the assigned ASBR
