Hi Experts,
Just testing out the simple theory...
I could not figure out why a route was missing from the ABR's routing table :
Could anybody please shed light for me:
I understood the theory that said : [ when you place the
Area Range
command on the ABR, then a Summary route to null0 was supposed to be installed into this ABR’s routing table ].
It did not happen on my ABR router.
I had labbed it up using Packet Tracer , with the following configurations, and a Summary Null route is currently missing from Router B’s table :
Please see my simple topology diagram :
Router B is the NSSA ABR , and is connecting to two areas : the backbone internal Router A, as well as connecting to Area 1 NSSA Router C (NSSA ASBR) .
**** Below is the configuration for NSSA ABR (Router B)
