You are close. A totally stubby are won't accept LSA type 3, 4 and 5 so the only way out is a default route, just as you said. A stub area, however, does accept LSA type 3 so routing WITHIN OSPF network occurs normally but will use a default route for EXTERNAL locations.

Not-so-stubby areas use LSA type 7 to redistribute external routes into the area.

Hi, Could someone explain me difference between stub and totally stubby areas ? I know that totally stubby area don't accept LSA type 3, 4 and 5 and stub area don't accept only 3 and for both only way out is default route. But what is real result of that configuration. And how it connect with redistributon of routes between OSPF and other routing protocols ? Thanks,
