Why did the Summary Null Route disappear from the ABR's Routing Table

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) .
