area stub

Use this command to define an OSPF area as a stub area.

Syntax

area area-id stub [no-summary]
no area area-id stub [no-summary]

Parameters

area-id Specifies the stub area. Valid values are decimal values 0 - 4294967295 or dotted-quad notation.
no-summary (Optional) Prevents an Area Border Router (ABR) from sending type 3 summary Link State Advertisements (LSAs) into the stub area. When this parameter is used, it means that all destinations outside of the stub area are represented by means of a default route.

Defaults

If no-summary is not specified, the stub area will be able to receive LSAs.

Mode

OSPFv3 router configuration.

Usage

This is an area that carries no external routes.

The “no” form of this command changes the stub back to a plain area.

Example

The following example shows how to define OSPF area 10 as a stub area:

System(rw-config)->ipv6 router ospf 1
System(rw-config-ospfv3)->area 10 stub
