OSPF Database Fields
Table 1-7 explains the fields for each database entry.
Table 1-7: ospf database output details
Field | Description |
---|
Link ID | The meaning of this field depends on the type of Link-State Advertisement (LSA). Type 1: Router LSA (depends on the type of network to which the router connects): Point-to-point network: neighbor’s router ID. Transit network: IP address of the designated router’s interface. Stub network: IP network or subnet address Virtual link: Neighbor’s Router ID. Type 2: Network LSA: The IP address of the designated router’s interface. Type 3: Summary LSA: The IP address of the network or subnet being advertised. |
ADV Router | The ID of the router advertising the LSA. |
Age | The age of the LSA. |
Seq# | The sequence number of the LSA. This number increments each time a new instance of the LSA originates. This update helps other routers identify the most recent instance of the LSA. |
CkSum | The fetch checksum of the complete LSA except the Age field. |
Link count | Total number of links. |
Route | Summary prefix address. |
