Re: nssa no-redistribute command

Thank you Yaser for your response.

A lab test always helps me!

In my lab, I redistributed a loop back on the nssa ABR. I did this with and
without the command option of no-redistribute. The no-redistribute command
keeps the other nssa routers from seeing this redistributed route, but the
area 0 routers can see it just fine. So ... I can still redistribute this
on a nssa ABR, without the nssa routers seeing this as a N2 (type 7).

Cool.

I still think my original solution was good enough, but I can see how the
no-redistribute command option even takes this one step further. picky
picky picky these practice tests can be ;-(((

Here is the command reference:

Thanks Yasser and team!

TIA,

Andrew
