For the archives... The problem ended up being an extraneous OSPF network configured on the ASBR (the one injecting the type-7 LSAs from static/connected routes). We apply a standard template to all routers, most of which end up in the backbone area. This one was intended for a NSSA, so the default OSPF network config including the backbone networks was unnecessary. We didn't realize it would prevent the ABR from translating the LSAs correctly even though it never formed any adjacencies in the backbone area. A tip of the hat to MikroTik support for a quick reply. They didn't find the problem, but they looked at our configs and setup a test to confirm that NSSA support does work as expected. We produced the same test and applied the differences until it broke to find the cause. -- Kristian Hoffmann System Administrator kh...@fire2wire.com http://www.fire2wire.com Office - 209-543-1800 | Fax - 209-545-1469 | Toll Free - 800-905-FIRE _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list Mikrotik@mail.butchevans.com http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
