Jin,

Regarding

>RFC3101 2.5 Calculating type-7 as external routes (3) states:

>Else if the destination is a Type-7 default route (destination
>          ID = DefaultDestination) and one of the following is true,
>          then do nothing with this LSA and consider the next in the
>          list:

>            o  The calculating router is a border router and the LSA has
>               its P-bit clear.  Appendix E describes a technique
>               whereby an NSSA border router installs a Type-7 default
>               LSA without propagating it.
>
>            o  The calculating router is a border router and is

>            [NSSA]
>Suppose user perform following steps in scenario(there is one ABR and ASBR

>Am I missing something?please correct me.

The answer is yes; but only if the P-bit is clear. From your text it would
seem that you are using Cisco equipment. As far as I know Cisco IOS has no
way of setting/clearing the P-bit in a route-map and its Type 7 LSAs almost
always have the P-bit set. So most likely your ASBR's default route has the
P-bit set and the ABR will install it.

Setting/clearing the P-bit is a very useful feature as it allows an LSA's
global propagation attribute to be set by its originating router. Without
the ability to clear the P-bit, DoNotAdvertise ranges must be configured
on every ABR when global propagation is not desired. Also since the default
setting of the P-bit in RFC 3101 is clear, a RFC 3101 consistant
implementation must have the ability to set the P-bit.
