Configure Stub Areas - Dell Force10 Z9000 Configuration Manual

Configure stub areas

OSPF supports different types of LSAs to help reduce the amount of router processing within the areas.
Type 5 LSAs are not flooded into stub areas; the Area Border Router (ABR) advertises a default route into
the stub area to which it is attached. Stub area routers use the default route to reach external destinations.
To ensure connectivity in your OSPFv2 network, never configure the backbone area as a stub area.
Use these commands in the following sequence, starting in EXEC Privilege mode, to configure a stub area.
