The other routers don't have to be Cisco. The only thing that makes the area a totally stubby area is the ABR. Being a totally stubby area means that the ABR only injects a default route into the area, therefore the other routers aren't important. HTH.

Hi,
I am studying CCNP BSCI and this is a question where I couldn't find an answer in my BSCI book. Basically, the OSPF totally stubby area is a Cisco specific implementation. If all routers in area 1 including ABR are Cisco routers, then there shouldn't be a problem.
Now what if the ABR is Cisco while some of the routers in area 1 are not cisco? Will the totally stubby area still work as it ment to be?
Thanks.
