Can I look at the workbook also? Would someone kind enough to explain this? I found this: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6350/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00804556e5.html but I don’t see any different with that area XX nssa translate type7 suppress-fa command. By default, the NSSA ABR already used itself to advertise those type5-translated-from-type7 LSA to its neighbors. What is the deal here?
