Hi there,

Stub and Totally Stubby Areas meet that requirement. Take a look at these two sources:

 

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2328#page-37

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/open-shortest-path-first-ospf/7039-1.html#t31

 

cheers,

Hi,

Stub areas can contain type 1, 2, and 3 LSAs. A default route is substituted for external routes.
Totally stubby areas can only contain type 1 and 2 LSAs, and a single type 3 LSA. The type 3 LSA describes a default route, substituted for all external and inter-area routes.
Not-so-stubby-areas implement stub or totally stubby functionality yet contain an ASBR. Type 7 LSAs generated by the ASBR are converted to type 5 by ABRs to be flooded to the rest of the OSPF domain.
