Common Operation Guide 22 Common OSPF Operations
This chapter uses the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) network shown in Figure 22-1 as an
example to describe common OSPF operations.
Configuring an NSSA
In a not-so-stubby area (NSSA), an ABR does not flood AS external routes received from
other areas, similar to the situation in a stub area. The difference is that an ABR can import
and flood AS external routes to the entire OSPF domain. A border area connected to another
AS on an OSPF network is often configured as an NSSA. For example, configure Area2 as an
NSSA.
The following uses the configuration of SwitchB as an example. The configurations of other
switches in Area2 are similar to the configuration of SwitchB.
[SwitchB] ospf 1
[SwitchB-ospf-1] area 2
[SwitchB-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.2] nssa
[SwitchB-ospf-1-area-0.0.0.2] quit
[SwitchB-ospf-1] quit
# Configure SwitchB.
[SwitchB] bfd
[SwitchB-bfd] quit
[SwitchB] ospf 1
[SwitchB-ospf-1] bfd all-interfaces enable
