Say I have two ospf routers in Area 100: R1&R2 and the area is configured as NSSA. R1 also connects to the Area 0 which makes it as the ABR between Area 0 and Area 100. Within NSSA, I have some static routes redistributed into OSPF on R2. These redistributed routes are showing up as N2 in Area 100 and E2 in Area 0.
But if I go under OSPF process and enable
prefix-suppression
on the ABR, then those redistributed routes will be disappeared from Area 0 (still shown as N2 in the Area 100)... Why does ABR suppress the translated Type-7 into Area 0? High-level diagram is attached.
According to cisco documents, link below, Prefixes that are associated with loopbacks, secondary IP addresses, and passive interfaces are excluded because typical network designs require those to remain reachable.
and
OSPF prefix-suppression
helps in faster Shortest Path First (SPF) calculation due to less number of prefixes in the database (DB). OSPF Type 3, Type 4, Type 5, or Type 7 LSAs are not suppressed.
Any idea?
