OSPF Area Types - Stub, NSSA, Totally Stub, Totally NSSA - Practical OSPF

Ғылым және технология

By default, every OSPF area starts as a "Normal" area. Inside a Normal area, every type of LSA / Route is allowed. But OSPF also has the ability to designate areas as Stub, or Not-So-Stubby-Areas (NSSA) which allows an OSPF engineer to optimize the types of Routes and LSAs which exist inside an Area.
In this video, we explore the five OSPF area types (Stub, Totally Stubby, NSSA, Totally NSSA). We also introduce the concept of a Type 7 LSA, and how they are used within Not So Stubby Areas and translated by ABRs which border an NSSA.
This is lesson 14 of the Practical OSPF series. The full series is available here:

If I understand correctly, they are first forwarded by R2 and R4 from Area 22 and Area 44 respectively into Area 0. From here, how do they reach Router 3 for them to be forwarded to Area 33? They can't be forwarded by R1, can they? Thanks for the lessons!

    I feel a bit confused here: Are these AREA types the same as the LINK type of a link advertised in an LSA? in other words, is a stub AREA the same as a STUB link/network? What if R6 didn't exist, R3 had a stub link/network instead, and was also part of Area 0? would that mean that R3 had a stub network/link inside a normal (non-stub) area? How does a router know what type of area that is? is it specifically configured or automatically determined? How does the LINK (stub, transit, etc.) and AREA types (stub, NSSA, etc) correlate to the NETWORK (broadcast/point-to-point, etc) type?

    Good question. No, the _Link types_ are different than the _Area Types_ and different from _Network Types_ . There is some overlap, but for learning I think it's best to understand each of these as completely separate independent topics. It's unfortunate OSPF used such similar terminology for each, it leads to confusion. The video on this series on Type 1 & 2 LSAs will go into more detail about Link types.

    Ed, I don’t get the point. If that needs to achieved ABR of Area 44 should inject the Default route using Type 3 LSA for to reach other areas. With Type 5, I have 100 routes and with Type 7 also, I have the same 100 routes. Why can’t just have Type 5 and inject a default route to reach other areas. I am confused by the usage of Type 7 LSA.

  • @PracticalNetworking

    Жыл бұрын

    A stub area, by definition, has only one way out. So it is safe to assume a default route should point to the ABR. In an NSSA area, there can be two ways out (the ABR, or the Redistribution Router). Therefore, OSPF can not assume where to point the default route, so doesn't inject one by default -- leaving the administrator to define where the route should point.
