White Paper Abstract:
This paper describes that the ABR Type 3 link-state advertisement (LSA) Filtering feature extends the capability of an ABR that is running the OSPF protocol to filter type 3 LSAs between different OSPF areas. This feature allows only specified prefixes to be sent from one area to another area and restricts all other prefixes. This type of area filtering can be applied out of a specific OSPF area, into a specific OSPF area, or into and out of the same OSPF areas at the same time. This feature is supported by the addition of the area filter-list command
