[j-nsp] nssa default route

[Harry Reynolds]

If the static redistribution works, and you insist on attracting traffic to a abr on a stick, so to speak, then I suppose using redistribution as opposed to the hidden command would be best. But seems that such an export would make the abr into an asbr, and also result in the injection the default into the backbone as a type 5, where it would flood into other non-stub areas. Would want to think that out.

But then again, we enter this discussion because there is no backbone adjacency (I believe), making above moot, but perhaps an issue down the road when the network grows and gains area 0 adjacencies. 

Regards

i will give that a shot, harry. thank you. this triggers a question, however. is it better to redist a static discard default route so it shows up as NSSA on my area 1 routers, instead of as a summary? this would negate the need for this mystery command, yes?

Where will the resulting inter-area traffic go? Routers in the nssa should not need the default just to get to the abr, it's needed to get to the best abr that can then shunt you over or into area 0, but that requires an area 0 adjacency.
