Command History
Usage Guidelines Use the area stub command to configure all devices attached to the stub area. Use the area default-cost
command on an area border router (ABR) attached to the stub area. The area default-cost command
provides the metric for the summary default route generated by the ABR into the stub area.
To further reduce the number of link-state advertisements (LSAs) sent into a stub area, you can configure
the no-summary keyword on the ABR to prevent it from sending Summary LSAs (Type 3 LSAs3) into
the stub area.
This command requires the LAN Base Services license.
Examples This example shows how to create stub area 33 in OSPF 209:

switch(config-router)# area 33 stub
switch(config-router)#
