Command Parameters

{A.B.C.D}

Specifies the area address.

default-cost <0-16777215>

Specifies the stub metric for the area. The default-cost default is 10.

import <external|noexternal|nssa>

Configures the area support for importing advertisements. The default is external.

import-summaries enable

Configures the area support for importing summary advertisements into a stub area. Use this entry only for a stub area. The default is enabled.

translator-role {1|2}

Indicates a Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA) border router ability to perform translation of type-7 LSAs into type-5 LSAs. Configure this value to 2 to make it a candidate. You can configure this parameter only when you first create the area. The default translator-role is 1.

type {nssa|stub}

Configures the type of area. A Not-So-Stubby-Area (NSSA) prevents flooding of normal route advertisements into the area by replacing them with a default route. A stub area uses only one exit point (router interface) out of the area. You can configure this parameter only when you first create the area. By default, the area is neither a stub area or NSSA (Not-So-Stubby Area).
