Hi Georg, I am using IOS12.1.7 and it allows me to issue this syntax:
area area-id nssa default-information originate metric-type 1 On IOS 11.x, it only allows me to issue this: area area-id nssa default-information originate If I leave the metric-type 1 off, I will get *N2 for the default route. If I use default-information originate metric-type 1, I will still get the same result. Looks like I may need to get a copy of Jeff Doyle's book and do a bit of reading on the NSSA stuff. The results of my NSSA config is way different from what I have anticipated. Thanks for your input anyway. I will let you know if I discover anything new.
