Command Usage
• All routers in a stub must be configured with the same area ID.
• Routing table space is saved in a stub by blocking Type-4 AS summary
LSAs and Type 5 external LSAs. The default setting for this command
completely isolates the stub by blocking Type-3 summary LSAs that
advertise the default route for destinations external to the local area or
the autonomous system.
• Use the area default-cost command to specify the cost of a
default summary route sent into a stub by an ABR.
• This router supports up to 16 total areas (either normal transit areas,
stubs, or NSSAs).
Example
This example creates a stub area 10.2.0.0, and assigns all interfaces with class
B addresses 10.2.x.x to the stub.
