Opened: Feb 12, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The forwarding address and the F-bit are not set in Type-7 LSAs sent out by the ASBR.

Impact

ABR routers are not able to propagate NSSA routes to other OSPF areas as External Type-5 routes. As a result, OSPF areas cannot reach external networks.

Conditions

Virtual IP from a virtual server is redistributed as a Type-7 route by the ASBR.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

ASBR sets the F-bit and forwarding address correctly.
