Routing Protocol Configuration Command Set
Configuring OSPF
13-52 Matrix DFE-Platinum and Diamond Series Configuration Guide
13.2.3.18 area nssa
Use this command to configure an area as a not so stubby area (NSSA). An NSSA allows some
external routes represented by external Link State Advertisements (LSAs) to be imported into it.
This is in contrast to a stub area that does not allow any external routes. External routes that are not
imported into an NSSA can be represented by means of a default route. This configuration is used
when an OSPF internetwork is connected to multiple non-OSPF routing domains.
