6.7 Stub, Totally Stubby, and Not-So-Stubby Areas  
  6.7.5 OSPF totally stubby area configuration example  
In Figure , the keyword no-summary has been added to the area stub command on R3. This keyword causes summary routes, delivered by both Type 3 and Type 4 LSAs, to also be blocked from the stub. Each router in the stub picks the closest ABR as a gateway to all other networks outside the area.

The only routes that will appear on the routing table for R4 are intra-area routes, designated with an O in the routing table, and the default route. No interarea routes, designated with an IA in the routing table, will be included.

Notice that it is necessary to configure the no-summary keyword only on the totally stubby border routers, because the area is already configured as stub.
