Parameters

default-route-advertise: Used on an NSSA ABR or an ASBR only. If it is configured on an NSSA ABR, the ABR redistributes a default route in a Type-7 LSA into the NSSA area. It redistributes a default route regardless of whether a default route exists in the routing table. If it is configured on an ASBR, the ASBR redistributes a default route in a Type-7 LSA only when the default route exists in the routing table.

cost cost-value: Specifies a cost for the default route, in the range of 0 to 16777214. If you do not specify this option, the default cost specified by the default-cost command applies.

nssa-only: Limits the default route advertisement to the NSSA area by setting the P-bit of Type-7 LSAs to 0. If you do not specify this keyword, the P-bit of Type-7 LSAs is set to 1. If the router acts as both an ASBR and an ABR and FULL state neighbors exist in the backbone area, the P-bit is set to 0.

route-policy route-policy-name: Specifies a routing policy by its name, a case-sensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. When the specified routing policy is matched, the command redistributes a default route in a Type-7 LSA into the OSPFv3 routing domain. The routing policy modifies values in the Type-7 LSA.

tag tag: Specifies a tag for the default route, in the range of 0 to 4294967295.

type type: Specifies a type for the Type-7 LSA, 1 or 2. The default is 2.

no-import-route: Used on an NSSA ABR to control the import-route command to not redistribute routes into the NSSA area.

no-summary: Used only on an ABR to advertise a default route in a Type-3 summary LSA into the NSSA area and to not advertise other summary LSAs into the area. The area is a totally NSSA area.

translate-always: Always translates Type-7 LSAs to Type-5 LSAs. This keyword takes effect only on an NSSA ABR.

translate-never: Never translates Type-7 LSAs to Type-5 LSAs. This keyword takes effect only on an NSSA ABR.

suppress-fa: Suppresses the forwarding address in the Type-7 LSAs from being placed in the Type-5 LSAs.

translator-stability-interval value: Specifies the stability interval of the translator. During the interval, the translator can maintain its translating capability after another device becomes the new translator. The value argument is the stability interval in the range of 0 to 900 seconds. The default interval is 0. A value of 0 means the translator does not maintain its translating capability when a new translator arises.

Usage guidelines

All routers attached to an NSSA area must be configured with the nssa command in area view.

Examples

# Configure Area 1 as an NSSA area.

<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] ospfv3 120
[Sysname-ospfv3-120] area 1
[Sysname-ospfv3-120-area-0.0.0.1] nssa
