The basic characteristic of NSSA is that it is a stub area and
external routes from the backbone are not injected into the area by
the ABR. Redistribution is supported inside the area but not into
the area. If you do need to have some externals advertised into the
area, I would suggest that you define the area as a normal area which
will accept external advertisements from the backbone.
