Need help getting NSSA ABR to flood default from NSSA ASBR

admin_2
Level 3
Level 3

I am having trouble advertising a default route from an NSSA ASBR to the ABR, and then subsequently getting the NSSA ABR to propagate that default route to the OSPF domain. The NSSA is connect to area 0 w/ a virtual link. I have tried different versions of routers/code to no avail. The farthest I have been able to get is configuring area x nssa default-information originate along w/ a static default route on the NSSA ASBR. Sometimes the NSSA ABR will show an N2 in the routing table. It would appear the the P-bit is not set because the default route never gets propagated. I'm able to get the external default route propagated if I connect it to an ABR directly.

Have you also included the "default-information-originate" in the area nssa command of the NSSA ABR, as well as the NSSA ASBR?

Also, I'm not sure why the ABR will only show the N2 sometimes. Is the route also going down in the ASBR at the same time it goes down in the ABR? Does the Type 7 LSA come and go from the OSPF database?

This should work. The only problem I can think of is the virtual link not being established properly.

Couls you provide us with the following for the NSSA ABR:

sh ip ospf virt

sh ip ospf da nssa

sh ip ospf da ext

sh ip ospf

Thanks,

Router r5 is the NSSA ABR for area 5, and R6 is the NSSA ASBR for area 6. Here are the routing tables for R5 and R6 as well as the output you requested.

Both R5 and R6 are advertising a type 7 LSA. From what I understand R6 is the ASBR and only it should be advertising the type 7. Could you post the ospf config for R5.

BTW: Can you see any of the routes from area 5 in area 0 and the rest of the AS?

I figured it out...must be bug related. I am studying for the RS IE, and am using older 3810s. Once I replaced the configuration w/ 2600 and 3600 routers, it worked.
