    What LSA’s are injected into a nssa?

    ABRs are identified as the router the is in both Area 0 and any other Area. The ASBR is identified as the router that connect any OSPF Area with an outside autonomous system. Attached please find a diagram of different OSPF areas and the LSA types allowed in these areas. You will see the placement of ABR and ASBR within the OSPF domain. Also below is a very good description of the different LSA types I found while studying for my CCIE written. Hope this helps explain the LSA types a bit better.
    + LSA 1 (Router LSA)
    Generated by all routers in an area to describe their directly attached links (Intra-area routes). These do not leave the area.
    + LSA 2 (Network LSA)
    Generated by the DR of a broadcast or Nonbroadcast segment to describe the neighbors connected to the segment. These do not leave the area.
    + LSA 3 (Summary LSA)
    Generated by the ABR to describe a route to neighbors outside the area. (Inter-area routes)
    + LSA 4 (Summary LSA)
    Generated by the ABR to describe a route to an ASBR to neighbors outside the area.
    + LSA 5 (External LSA)
    Generated by ASBR to describe routes redistributed into the area. These routes appear as E1 or E2 in the routing table. E2 (default) uses a static cost throughout the OSPF domain as it only takes the cost into account that is reported at redistribution. E1 uses a cumulative cost of the cost reported into the OSPF domain at redistribution plus the local cost to the ASBR.
    + LSA 6 (Multicast LSA)
    Not supported on Cisco routers.
    + LSA 7 (NSSA External LSA)
    Generated by an ASBR inside a NSSA to describe routes redistributed into the NSSA. LSA 7 is translated into LSA 5 as it leaves the NSSA. These routes appear as N1 or N2 in the ip routing table inside the NSSA. Much like LSA 5, N2 is a static cost while N1 is a cumulative cost that includes the cost upto the ASBR.
