Stub areas have nothing to do with passive interfaces. A stub area is an area that does not get flooded with AS-external LSA. This is used to allow crappy routers with limited memory into larger networks. Ospfd does currently not support stub areas. We did not consider them important enough to be something that had to be implemented ASAP. Some bits are present but more work is needed and it is on the todo list. -- :wq Claudio > Best Regards, > Nick > > Lars Hansson wrote: > >Nigel Roberts wrote: > >>Is it possible to configure an area in ospfd.conf to be a stub area? > > > >Yes, use the "passive" option.
