Description
Synopsis: default, disable, enable
Default: default
Sets the area's shortcutting mode. Options include:
• Default: If the Area Border Router (ABR) has an active backbone connection, the area
is not used for shortcutting and a new bit (S-bit) is not set by the ABR in the router-
LSA originated for the area. The opposite is true if the ABR does not have an active
backbone connection.
• Enable: If the ABR has an active backbone connection, it sets the new bit (S-bit) in the
router-LSA originated for the area and uses it for shortcutting. Other ABRs in the area
must also report the new bit. However, if the ABR does not have an active backbone
connection, it uses the area unconditionally for shortcutting and sets the new bit in the
router-LSA originated for the area.
• Disable: The ABR does not use this area for shortcutting, or set the new bit (S-bit) in
the router-LSA originated for it.
