RE: [nsp] Q: AS5300 and ospf in stub area

A stub area does'nt carry LSA's with the E bit set, IE, redistributed routes
within the area. Default routes are injected in as type 3 summary LSAs. In
order to inject external LSAs (type 5) into the backbone (as well as all
other routers in the stub area) you must use the NSSA option. Your config
would become:

router ospf 53
 redistribute connected subnets
 network 192.168.8.42 0.0.0.0 area 10
 area 10 nssa

The ABR ospf configuration:

router ospf 53
 redistribute connected subnets
 redistribute static subnets
 network 192.168.8.215 0.0.0.0 area 10
 network 192.168.0.41 0.0.0.0 area 0
 default-information originate always
 area 0 range 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
 area 10 nssa default-originate
 area 10 range 192.168.8.0 255.255.255.0

Subject: [nsp] Q: AS5300 and ospf in stub area

Dear all,

I have an as5300 (IP 192.168.8.42) access server running ospf in area 10
stub. When someone is dialed up and connected to it (and get IP
192.168.4.155), I can see the route (a /32 route) is advertised out by
ospf in as5300.

as5300> sh ip route 192.168.4.155
Routing entry for 192.168.4.5/32
  Known via "connected", distance 0, metric 0 (connected, via interface)
  Redistributing via ospf 53
  Advertised by ospf 53 subnets
  Routing Descriptor Blocks:
  * directly connected, via Async171
      Route metric is 0, traffic share count is 1

However, in the ABR, I do not find the route by sh ip route ospf though I
do find the as5300 as a neighbor in "sh ip ospf nei" of the ABR.

Here is my as5300 ospf configuration. It's simple and short, but I donno
what the problem is. If you have any idea, please kindly let me know.

router ospf 53
 redistribute connected subnets
 network 192.168.8.42 0.0.0.0 area 10
 area 10 stub

The ABR ospf configuration:

router ospf 53
 redistribute connected subnets
 redistribute static subnets
 network 192.168.8.215 0.0.0.0 area 10
 network 192.168.0.41 0.0.0.0 area 0
 default-information originate always
 area 0 range 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0
 area 10 stub
 area 10 range 192.168.8.0 255.255.255.0

Thanks in advance.

Rgds,
Kenneth Cho
