OSPF COMMANDS
AREA
NSSA
area nssa
Overview This command sets an area as a Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA). By default, no NSSA
area is defined.
Use this command to simplify administration if you are connecting a central site
using OSPF to a remote site that is using a different routing protocol. You can
extend OSPF to cover the remote connection by defining the area between the
central router and the remote router as an NSSA.
There are no external routes in an OSPF stub area, so you cannot redistribute from
another protocol into a stub area. A NSSA allows external routes to be flooded
within the area. These routes are then leaked into other areas. Although, the
external routes from other areas still do not enter the NSSA. You can either
configure an area to be a stub area or an NSSA, not both.
The no variant of this command removes this designation.
