Hello everyone,

Check the LSDB of AR1. The LSDB contains two default routes, one NSSA default route and one Type 3 default route.

In NSSA no-summary area, isn't ABR (AR1 in topology) generate a type 3 default route? Why is there another NSSA default route? The nssa default-route-advertise command is not configured on AR1. Where does this NSSA type default route come from?

The topology is as follows:

7

The following figure shows the LSDB of AR1:

8

OSPF configuration on AR1:

9

Please help me! Thank you!

Hi WDNJSQ,

The nssa no-summary command only disables an ABR from sending summary LSAs to the NSSA. After this command is configured, the ABR generates a default Type 3 route.

The nssa default-route-advertise command configures an ASBR to generate default Type 7 LSAs and advertise them to the NSSA. On an ASBR, a default Type 7 LSA is generated only when the default route 0.0.0.0/0 exists in the routing table.

AR1 is an ABR and automatically generates a default Type 7 LSA to the NSSA. No matter whether the default route 0.0.0.0/0 exists in the routing table on the ABR, the default Type 7 LSA is generated.

I hope it helps!
