OSPF Stub Area: Definition, Operation and Configuration

Cisco’s OSPF implementation supports these area types: normal/standard areas, backbone area (area 0), transit areas, stub areas, totally stubby areas, NSSA areas, and NSSA totally stubby areas. In a normal OSPF stub area or simply stub area, ABRs exclude external LSAs from being advertised to the area’s routers, which rely on default routing to reach destinations outside the current OSPF autonomous system. This post focuses on normal stub areas and answers the following questions:

  • What is OSPF stub area?
  • What is its purpose?
  • How do OSPF stub areas work?
  • What are the pros and cons of OSPF stub areas?
  • How to configure an OSPF area as a stub area?

Moreover, you will find a lab to set up OSPF stub areas at the end of this tutorial. Note that OSPF stub areas are outside of the CCNA exam’s scope; however, they are part of the CCNP Enterprise ENCOR and ENARSI exams.

What is OSPF Stub Area, and What is its Purpose?

An OSPF stub area is a special area type that excludes LSAs Type 4 and 5, while it allows only LSAs Type 1, 2, and 3. The purpose of a stub area is to reduce the size of the LSDB; thus, the stub area’s nodes consume fewer CPU cycles than normal area nodes when performing SPF calculations, and decrease convergence time. Remember that the SPF algorithm operates per area; the more the area’s LSA content is smaller, the fastest SPF calculations get done.

Finally, here are some rules that control an OSPF stub area:

  • Routers, including ABRs, cannot inject external routes within the stub area. Therefore, no router can be considered ASBR in the area. However, backbone routers can still redistribute external routes into OSPF and advertise them using LSAs Type 5 into area 0, and normal areas.
  • ABRs cannot flood external AS LSAs into the area.
  • Each ABR advertises a default route using an LSA Type 3 in the area in order to keep external prefixes reachable to the area’s routers. This is a common rule for all the four types of stub areas: normal stub, totally stub, Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA), and totally Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA).
  • An OSPF stub area cannot be used as a transit area for virtual links.
  • The backbone area (area 0) cannot become stub.
  • All routers within a stub area should be configured as stub nodes. If an OSPF stub area includes two neighboring routers, one is configured as a stub router while the other does not, they won’t establish a full neighbor relationship in that area.

How Does an OSPF Stub Area Work?

In this section, I will use the following network topology to explain how OSPF stub areas work.

Figure 1 – Network topology of an OSPF autonomous system

First of all, we configure OSPF and EIGRP according to the network diagram. Each OSPF router has been assigned a router ID written in the N.N.N.N form, where N is the router’s number in Figure 1. Additionally, no virtual link has been established, and we redistributed routes between EIGRP and OSPF on router R2.

Here are the configurations applied to the routers.

Router R1 Router R2 Router R3 Router R4 Router R5
Router R6 Router R7 Router R8 Router R9 Router R10

The OSPF routing domain in Figure 1 includes 5 areas: 0, 25, 89, 91, and 13489. Routers in areas 91 and 13489 need to know every subnet in the OSPF autonomous system but do not require detailed routing information about external destinations. Thus, configuring areas 91 and 13489 as stub areas is enough to meet these requirements. However, that may lead to nonoptimal routing, as we will discover later in this section.

To set up a normal/standard area as a stub area, use the area area-id stub command in router configuration mode (Exhibits 1 to 6), where area-id is the area intended to become a stub. The command must be issued on all routers in the stub area.

Before converting area 13489 into a stub, R3’s routing table already included an external OSPF route (Exhibit 7).

Exhibit 7 – OSPF routes installed in R3’s routing table before converting area 13489 into a stub area

Now, router R3 does not have external routes; however, it still can reach subnet 10.0.26.0/24 (advertised in EIGRP AS 200) thanks to the default route advertised by ABRs R1 and R8 (Exhibit 8). Before continuing, remember that we did not inject EIGRP AS 100’s subnets into OSPF yet. Therefore, 10.0.26.0/24 is the only external IP prefix that got advertised in our OSPF autonomous system.

Exhibit 8 – OSPF routes installed in R3’s routing table after converting area 13489 into a stub area

The show ip ospf database command outputs below indicate that area 13489’s LS set includes LSAs Type 1, 2, and 3 only (Exhibit 9), while area 89’s LS sets contain LSAs Type 1, 2, 3, and 4 (Exhibit 10). Additionally, area 91’s LSDB consists of Type 1 and Type 2 LSAs (Exhibit 11) because the area does not have an ABR. In fact, routers R9 and R10 are not ABRs .

Exhibit 11 – Router R10’s LSDB

As a general rule, when a router is connected to normal stub areas only, it cannot receive Type 4 and 5 LSAs. However, if it is connected to areas of different types and it is ABR or attached to an area containing an ABR, it may get/generate LSAs Type 4 and 5.

Consequently, R3 and R4’s LSDBs do not include LSAs Type 5, while the LSDBs of routers R1, R2, R5, R8, and R9 do (Exhibit 12). Note that OSPF LSAs Type 5 do not get associated with a particular area, unlike LSAs Type 1, 2, 3, and 4.

Exhibit 12 – Router R9’s LSDB

Another issue with OSPF stub areas is that routers cannot use them as transit areas to build up virtual links. If you try to configure a virtual link using a stub area, Cisco IOS displays the following message.

R9(config-router)# area 13489 virtual-link 8.8.8.8
% OSPF: Virtual links are not allowed in NSSA and stub areas

Router R10 cannot reach IP prefixes outside OSPF area 91 because it is connected to one area, which does not include an ABR. To fix this, we have to connect R9 to area 0. This can be done using a GRE tunnel or OSPF virtual link with R1 or R8. R9 cannot establish a virtual link with R1 because they connected via area 13489 only, which is a stub area.

In contrast, R9 can build up a virtual link with R8 through area 89 (non-stub area) (Exhibits 15 and 16). To do this, use the area virtual-link command on both R9 and R8 (Exhibits 13 and 14). This way, R9 will advertise all internal OSPF prefixes and a default into area 91; thus, R10 can have full IP reachability to all internal and external IP prefixes advertised in the OSPF domain (Exhibit 17).

Exhibit 17 – OSPF routes installed in R10’s routing table

Routers cannot become ASBRs in a stub area. This means OSPF routers cannot inject external prefixes into a stub area. In other words, they can not share external destinations with OSPF nodes within a stub area. However, if a router, whether it is ABR or not, is connected to multiple areas, including stub and normal areas, the router can still inject external routes into normal areas.

For example, if we instruct router R4 to redistribute EIGRP AS 100’s routes into OSPF, this action won’t succeed, no route will get advertised in area 13489 (the only area to which R4 is attached), and Cisco IOS will display an error message (Exhibit 18).

Router R4

R4(config)# router ospf 1
R4(config-router)# redistribute eigrp 100 subnets
R4(config-router)# 
*Jul 16 00:06:22.571: %OSPF-4-ASBR_WITHOUT_VALID_AREA: Router is currently an ASBR while having only one area which is a stub area

Exhibit 18 – Attempting to redistribute EIGRP 100’s routes on R4

On the other hand, if we try to redistribute those routes into OSPF on router R1, they will get advertised using LSAs Type 5 to OSPF nodes across non-stub areas. In fact, router R1 won’t advertise EIGRP AS 100’s routes to R3 and R4 because it has full neighbor relationships with them in the 13489 stub area only.

In contrast, R8 and R2 will get LSAs Type 5 for those routes from R1 since it is establishing OSPF adjacencies with R2 and R8 in area 0. Additionally, router R2 and R8 will flood those LSAs Type 5 in areas 25 and 89 because they are not stub areas.

Finally, OSPF routers R1, R2, R5, R8, and R9 have detailed routing information about all IP prefixes advertised in the OSPF routing domain, as you can see in the show ip route command output below.

Three default routes have been installed in R3’s routing table (Exhibit 19). After configuring a virtual link between R9 and R8, R9 becomes ABR; and since it is in the 13489 stub area, it injects a default route in that area. The default routes have the same metric. Therefore, OSPF will load-balance traffic destined to external networks across routers R1, R8, and R9 even though those routes are not equal since routers R8 and R9’s paths to external destinations traverse R1.

To sum up, OSPF stub areas help reduces the size of the LSDB but may lead to suboptimal routing.

OSPF Stub Area vs Not-So-Stubby Area (NSSA)

Both stub and NSSA areas do not support external AS LSAs, rely on default routes advertised by ABRs to reach IP prefixes outside the OSPF routing domain, and accept LSAs Type 1, 2, and 3. However, NSSA areas allow configuring ASBRs within the area and flooding external routes into it using LSAs Type 7 instead of Type 5.

OSPF Stub Area vs NSSA Totally Stub Area

Both stub and NSSA Totally Stub areas do not support external AS LSAs, rely on default routes advertised by ABRs to reach IP prefixes outside the OSPF routing domain, and accept LSAs Type 1, 2. However, NSSA totally stub areas allow configuring ASBRs within the area and flooding external routes into it using LSAs Type 7 instead of Type 5, while it prohibits LSAs Type 3 except default summary LSAs, unlike an OSPF stub area.

OSPF Stub Area Flag and Neighbor Relationships

OSPF nodes in a stub area set the stub area flag, the (E) bit in the options field, to 0 in OSPF Hellos sent within the area, as illustrated in the following OSPF hello packet sample.

Open Shortest Path First

        Backup Designated Router: 10.0.39.3
        Active Neighbor: 9.9.9.9

If two OSPF stub area neighbors do not agree on the stub area flag, they cannot build up an OSPF neighbor relationship. On the other hand, within a normal OSPF area, routers set the E to 1, as shown in the following OSPF Hello packet example. This means external routes are allowed and the area is not a stub of any kind.

OSPF LSA Types Allowed within OSPF Stub Areas

An OSPF stub area, regardless of its type, has one goal: to reduce the size of the LSDB in order to calculate the SPF tree fast as possible; besides, stub area nodes rely on default routes, advertised as inter-area OSPF routes by ABRs, to forward IP packets to external destinations. However, stub areas do not allow the same OSPF LSA types, as illustrated in the following table.

Stub Area Type LSA Types External Routes ASBR
LSA Type 1 LSA Type 2 LSA Type 3 LSA Type 4 LSA Type 5 LSA Type 7
Stub yes yes yes No No No No No
Totally stub yes yes No, except for default routes No No No No No
NSSA yes yes yes No No Yes Yes Yes
Totally NSSA yes yes No, except for default routes No No Yes Yes Yes

Configuring and Verifying an OSPF Stub Area

Stub Area OSPF Configuration and Verification on Cisco IOS

Routers within a stub area should all declare the area as a stub. On Cisco IOS, use the area stub command to achieve this, as shown in the following example.

R1(config)# router ospf 1
R1(config-router)# area 10 stub

To configure an OSPF area as a totally stubby area, use the area stub no-summary command in router configuration mode.

Finally, the show ip ospf command allows you to verify whether an area gets converted to a stub area, as you can see in the following example.

R15# show ip ospf

Stub Area OSPF Configuration on Juniper

Juniper JunOS supports OSPF stub areas. First, use the set protocols ospf area stub command on all routers in the area to configure an area as a stub (Exhibit 24); then issue the set protocols ospf area stub default-metric command on the ABRs intended to inject default routes into the stub area (Exhibit 25).

mohamed@itsb# set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.2 stub
mohamed@itsb# commit

Exhibit 24 – Configuring stub area on Juniper JunOS

mohamed@itsb# set protocols ospf area 0.0.0.2 stub default-metric 20
mohamed@itsb# commit

Exhibit 25 – Injecting a default route into a stub area on Juniper JunOS

To check whether an area is a stub, use the show protocols ospf command. When you issue the command on a non-ABR router, it will display an output similar to Exhibit 26, telling if the area is a stub area. However, when you use the command on an ABR (Exhibit 27), it will display additional information, such as a default route has been injected, the area is totally stubby, etc.

mohamed@itsb#  show protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.2 {
     stub;
}

Exhibit 26 – Verifying a stub area on a non-ABR Juniper router

mohamed@itsb#  show protocols ospf
area 0.0.0.2 {
        stub default-metric 20;
}

Exhibit 27 – Verifying a stub area on an ABR Juniper router

Finally, to configure an OSPF area as a totally stubby area on JunOS, use the set protocols ospf area stub no-summaries command on the area’s ABRs.

Stub Area OSPF Configuration on Mikrotik RouterOS

The /routing ospf area add name area-id type inject-summary-lsa command allows you to set up stub areas on Mikrotik RouterOS. You have to specify the area name, ID, and type, and tell the router to inject summary LSAs (Exhibit 28). Moreover, if you want to set up a totally stubby area, set the inject-summary parameter to no.

[admin@MikroTik] >   /routing ospf area add name=area2 area-id=2.2.2.2 type=stub inject-summary-lsa=yes

Exhibit 28 – Configuring stub area on Mikrotik

To verify your stub area configuration, use the routing ospf area print command (Exhibit 29).

[admin@MikroTik] >  routing ospf area print

To verify the solution, use the show ip ospf neighbor command to check that OSPF adjacencies have been established between neighbors.

The OSPF autonomous system includes 8 routers. According to the network diagram, we should have 10 OSPF adjacencies established. In fact, the show ip ospf neighbor command outputs below state that routers built up 10 full OSPF relationships.

Next, use the show ip route ospf command to check whether OSPF routers, except R10, have routes to all IP prefixes advertised in the OSPF routing domain.

Since router R9 is not ABR, it does not advertise area 91’s IP prefixes into other areas, and vice-versa. Therefore, R10’s routing table does not include routes outside area 91. Additionally, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, and R8 do not have routes to area 91’s prefixes, while R9 has routes to all prefixes in the OSPF autonomous system, as shown in the show ip route command outputs below.

All non-ABR routers in area 13489 installed a default route in their routing tables. R3 and R4 no longer have external routes in their routing tables, while R9 still does because it gets them from R8 through area 89, as you can see in the show ip route command outputs below.

Task 8: Configure router R3 to not install R8 and R9’s default routes in the routing table.

Router R3

R3(config)# interface range gigabitEthernet 0/8 - 9
R3(config-if-range)# ip ospf cost 2

ABRs R8 and R9 generates the default route with a cost of 1. When router R3 receives each default route it adds its path cost to the flooding router to route’s cost. After increasing the OSPF cost of the interfaces leading to R8 and R9, R1’s default route becomes the one with the lowest cost on R3, and thus gets preferred over the other default routes, as shown below.
