Chapter 6      Configuring OSPFv2
Configuring Advanced OSPFv2
Configuring Stub Areas
You can configure a stub area for part of an OSPFv2 domain where external traffic is not necessary. Stub 
areas block AS External (type 5) LSAs, limiting unnecessary routing to and from selected networks. See 
the “Stub Area” section on page 6-8. You can optionally block all summary routes from going into the 
stub area. 
BEFORE YOU BEGIN 
Ensure that you have enabled the OSPF feature (see the “Enabling the OSPFv2 Feature” section on 
page 6-14).
Ensure that there are no virtual links or ASBRs in the proposed stub area.
Ensure that you are in the correct VDC (or use the switchto vdc command).
