OSPF NSSA total-stub default route still advertises even when no interface in area 0

dan_wiebell

We have the following topology:

Core Router > ---area 0--- >  Our WAN router > ---area 301 nssa no-summary--- > Provider WAN Router

When I shut the link from the Core Router, our WAN router continues to advertise a default route into the Provider WAN. My reading on the subject indicates that when an NSSA ABR ceases to have an interface in area 0, it should stop advertising the default route into the rest of the NSSA area.

I have verified this in a netlab configuration (running 2811s with AdvIPServices 12.4(24)T1), and it performs as expected. However, when I executed this change in our production environment (running an 1841 with AdvIPServices 12.3(11)YZ2), the default route continues to advertise even when I shut the Core Router interface.

Ideas on where I can look to solve this?

Relevent config on the WAN Router:

Hello Dan,

This is an interesting issue. However, it does look like a bug. Is it possible for you to upgrade your 1841 either to 12.4 or 12.4T IOS (no Y, Z or similar trains)? I would personally recommend going for the most recent 12.4 IOS in your case.

Best regards,

Peter

hi dan,

Not sure if this is related to bug  CSCsc03828. Maybe worth upgrading your IOS as Peter suggested.

HTH

Regards

I saw when I did a bug search earlier, that but it appears to only refer to BGP.

Nevertheless I am currently searching for a more recent IOS that will actually fit in the RAM of the 1841s we use.
