Example for Configuring an OSPF NSSA

Example for Configuring an OSPF NSSA

Networking Requirements

Stub areas and NSSAs are described as follows:

Stub area

  • Does not transmit external routes from other areas.
  • Does not transmit AS external routes imported by ASBRs.

Type 5 LSAs are not transmitted in stub areas.

NSSA

  • Does not transmit external routes from other areas.

  • Transmits AS external routes imported by ASBRs.

    Type 7 LSAs generated by ASBRs in an NSSA are transmitted only within the NSSA. After receiving the Type 7 LSAs, ABRs in the NSSA translate them into Type 5 LSAs to advertise external routes to other areas on the OSPF network.

Configuring an area as an NSSA prevents a large number of external routes from consuming the bandwidth and storage resources of the router.

In Figure 5-39, OSPF runs on all routers, and the entire AS is partitioned into two areas. Router A and Router B function as ABRs to forward inter-area routes; Router C and Router D function as ASBRs and import external static routes 10.0.0.0/8 and 20.0.0.0/8. To import AS external routes but reduce the number of LSAs to be advertised to area 1 without affecting route reachability, configure area 1 as an NSSA and configure Router A as an LSA translator in the NSSA.

Figure 5-39 Networking for configuring an OSPF NSSA

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

  1. Enable OSPF and configure basic OSPF functions on each router
  2. Configure Area 1 as an NSSA.
  3. Configure Router D to import the static route 10.0.0.0/8.
  4. Configure Router C to import the static route 20.0.0.0/8.
  5. Configure Router A as an LSA translator in the NSSA.
  6. Disable Type 3 LSA advertisement to the NSSA to reduce the routing table size.

Data Preparation

To complete the configuration, you need the following data:

  • Router ID 1.1.1.1 of Router A; OSPF process ID 1; network segment 192.168.0.0/24 of area 0; network segments 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.3.0/24 of Area 1
  • Router ID 2.2.2.2 of Router B; OSPF process ID 1; network segment 192.168.2.0/24 of area 0; network segments 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.4.0/24 of Area 1
  • Router ID 3.3.3.3 of Router C; OSPF process ID 1; network segments 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24 of area 0
  • Router ID 4.4.4.4 of Router D; OSPF process ID 1; network segments 192.168.3.0/24 and 192.168.4.0/24 of Area 1

Procedure

  1. Configure an IP address for each interface.

    Assign an IP address to each interface according to Figure 5-39. For configuration details, see "Configuration Files" in this section.

  2. Configure basic OSPF functions.

    Configuring Basic OSPF Functions shows how to configure basic OSPF functions. For details about the configuration, see Configuration Files in this section.

  3. Configure Router C to import the static route 20.0.0.0/8.

    <Huawei> system-view
[Huawei] sysname RouterC
[RouterC] ip route-static 20.0.0.0 8 null 0
[RouterC] ospf 1
[RouterC-ospf-1] import-route static
[RouterC-ospf-1] quit

  4. Configure Router D to import the static route 10.0.0.0/8.

    [RouterD] ip route-static 10.0.0.0 8 null 0
[RouterD] ospf 1
[RouterD-ospf-1] import-route static
[RouterD-ospf-1] quit

    # Display the OSPF routing table of Router C.
