Description
A NSSA border router can translate the
Type 7 LSAs used for external route
information within the NSSA to Type 5
LSAs used for distributing external route
information to other parts of the OSPF
routing domain. Usually a NSSA will
have only one NSSA border router
acting as a translator for the NSSA.
You can set the translator role to
always to ensure this FortiGate unit
always acts as a translator if it is in a
NSSA, even if other routers in the NSSA
are also acting as translators.
You can set the translator role to
candidate to have this FortiGate unit
participate in the process for electing a
translator for a NSSA.
You can set the translator role to never
to ensure this FortiGate unit never acts
as the translator if it is in a NSSA.
Use this command to specify area
shortcut parameters.
Enter no-summary to prevent an ABR
sending summary LSAs into a stub area.
Enter summary to allow an ABR to send
summary LSAs into a stub area.
Set the area type:
• Select nssa for a not so stubby area.
• Select regular for a normal OSPF
area.
• Select stub for a stub area.
