Network Requirements
- Configure OSPF for all devices, and divide the devices into three areas: Area 0, Area 1, and Area 2. Configure Area 1 and Area 2 as NSSA areas.
- On Device4, redistribute a static route to OSPF. After the configuration is completed, all devices can learn intra-area and inter-area routes, but external routes cannot be injected into Area 1.
- Introduce a default route to the ABR of Area 1 so that Device1 can access an external network through the default route.

Configuration Steps
Step 1: Create VLANs, and add ports to the required VLANs. (Omitted)
Step 2: Configure IP addresses for the ports. (Omitted)
Step 3: Configure an OSPF process and let the interfaces cover the related areas.

According to the OSPF database, the ABR in the NSSA area (Area 2) converts NSSA-external LSAs into AS External LSAs. Therefore, the other areas can normally learn external routes that are redistributed from the NSSA area (Area 2).

According to the queried information, route 200.1.1.0/24 does not exist in the routing table of Device1, indicating that the external route redistributed by Device4 has not been injected to the NSSA area (Area 1), while the routes of other areas have been added into the routing table.
Step 5: Configure Device2, and introduce a default route to Area 1.
#Configure Device2. At this time, Device2 is the ABR of Area 1.
|
Device2(config)#router ospf 100
Device2(config-ospf)#router-id 2.2.2.2
Device2(config-ospf)#area 1 nssa default-information-originate
Device2(config-ospf)#exit
|
-
After the area area-id nssa no-summary command is executed on the ABR of the NSSA area, the area is called a totally NSSA area. At this time, the ABR generates a default route and flood the default route into the NSSA area. After the command is configured, the number of summary LSAs and corresponding inter-area routes will be further decreased. The devices in the area access a network outside the area or outside the AS through the default route.
Step 6: Check the result.
#Query OSPF LSDB of Device2.
Device2#show ip ospf database
