originate-default-route
Syntax originate-default-route [type-7]
no originate-default-route 
Context config>service>vprn>ospf>area>nssa
Description This command enables the generation of a default route and its LSA type (3 or 7) into a Not So 
Stubby Area (NSSA) by an NSSA Area Border Router (ABR)
When configuring an NSSA with no summaries, the ABR will inject a type 3 LSA default route into 
the NSSA area. Some older implementations expect a type 7 LSA default route. 
The no form of the command disables origination of a default route.
Default no originate-default-route — A default route is not originated.
Parameters type-7 — Specifies a type 7 LSA should be used for the default route. 
Configure this parameter to inject a type-7 LSA default route instead the type 3 LSA into the 
NSSA configured with no summaries.
To revert to a type 3 LSA, enter originate-default-route without the type-7 parameter.
Default Type 3 LSA for the default route.
redistribute-external
Syntax [no] redistribute-external
Context config>service>vprn>ospf>area>nssa
Description This command enables the redistribution of external routes into the Not So Stubby Area (NSSA) or an 
NSSA area border router (ABR) that is exporting the routes into non-NSSA areas.
NSSA or Not So Stubby Areas are similar to stub areas in that no external routes are imported into the 
area from other OSPF areas. The major difference between a stub area and an NSSA is that the NSSA 
has the capability to flood external routes that it learns (providing it is an ASBR) throughout its area 
and via an Area Border Router to the entire OSPF domain. 
The no form of the command disables the default behavior to automatically redistribute external 
routes into the NSSA area from the NSSA ABR. 
Default redistribute-external — External routes are redistributed into the NSSA.
summaries
Syntax [no] summaries
Context config>service>vprn>ospf>area>nssa
config>service>vprn>ospf>area>stub
Description This command enables sending summary (type 3) advertisements into a stub area or Not So Stubby 
Area (NSSA) on an Area Border Router (ABR).
