190 Confidential and Proprietary Information of ZTE CORPORATION
A router in a stub area does not allow an LSA of type 5, so ASBR
is not a part of the stub area. However, it is hoped that a stub
area with an ASBR can be generated, such that a router in area
can receive AS external routes from ASBR in this area, but
external routing information from other areas will be blocked.
Therefore, OSPF defines Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA). In an
NSSA, the ASBR generates Type 7 LSA instead of Type 5 LSA.
ABR cannot send Type 7 LSA to other OSPF areas. This blocks
external routes from entering the NSSA area at the area border;
On the other hand, this converts Type 7 LSA into Type 5 LSA.
The authentication can be used for packet exchange between
two OSPF neighbors. The neighbors must agree on
authentication type and authentication type is contained in all
packets.
Authentication type "0" indicates no authentication, "1" indicates
simple password authentication and "2" indicates MD5 password
authentication.
When simple password authentication is configured, an interface
only allows one password. The password of each interface can
be different, but each interface in a special network must have
same password. The simple password is sent through OSPF
packets in plain text.
