A wastewater plant places remote clinics in a totally stubby OSPF area so they only need a default from the ABR. Which behavior should operators expect inside that area?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Totally stubby is the “just give me a default” neighborhood—the ABR hands clinics a default and keeps external and extra inter-area clutter out. Perfect for simple remote sites. They shouldn’t see the whole AS-external scrapbook.
Full Explanation
A totally stubby area is configured so the ABR injects a default and suppresses external LSAs as well as ordinary inter-area type-3 routes into the area (default being the reachability vehicle). That simplifies remote clinic RIBs. Expecting full type-5 floods, blocking defaults while allowing externals, or involving EIGRP variance misunderstands totally stubby behavior.
