Feature
 Overview
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.
Benefits
The OSPF ABR Type 3 LSA Filtering feature gives the user improved control of route distribution 
between OSPF areas.
Restrictions
Only type-3 LSAs that originate from an ABR are filtered.
