[nsp] ospf type 5 lsas not in route table

[Thomas Salmen]

greetings,

i have an amusing ospf problem which someone may have some suggestions for.

i have a 2500 connected to a 7500 via a frame (2500 end) to atm (7500 end)
link. the 2500 is an abr for area 15 (serial area 0, ethernet area 15); the
7500 is an abr for area 14 (atm area 0, other interfaces area 14).

area 15 is configured as an nssa, as it is attached to another router which
is redistributing static routes. area 14 is a standard ospf area, not stub
or
nssa.

the 2500 (abr) is recieving type 7 lsas and converting them to type 5 and
flooding them into area 0, no problems. the 7500 has them in its lsa
database.

the problem is that none of the type 5 lsas are being entered in the 7500s
route table.





7500:

interface atm 0/1/0.101
 ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.252

!
interface ethernet 1/0/1
 ip address 10.64.0.1 255.255.255.0
!
router ospf 120
 network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
 network 10.64.0.0 0.0.0.255 area 14

!



2500:

interface ethernet 0
 ip address 172.16.10.5 255.255.255.252
!
interface serial 0/0.101 point-to-point
 ip address 192.168.10.2 255.255.255.252

!

!
router ospf 120
 network 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.3 area 0
 network 172.16.10.4 0.0.0.3 area 15
 area 15 nssa no-summary
!

the only other router in area 15 is at 172.16.10.6, and is configured as an
nssa asbr (its a max redistributing dialin users as host routes - type 5
lsas).

the 7500 has all the type 5 lsas in its database, but none entered in its
route table.

eg:

7500#show ip ospf database external  200.88.200.220
