Table 121. OSPFv3 External LSA Database
Description Field
A 32-bit number in dotted-decimal format that identifies the switch within the
autonomous system (AS). To change the router ID, you must first disable OSPFv3. After
you set a new router ID, you must reenable OSPFv3 for the change to take effect. The
default value is 0.0.0.0, although this is not a valid router ID. Router ID
The format and function of the link state advertisement:
• Router LSA: A router can originate one or more Router LSAs for an area. A Router
LSA originates in an area and describes the collected states of all the router’s
interfaces connected to the area.
• Network LSA: A Network LSA is originated by the designated router for each link
to which two or more routers are attached. The LSA lists all the routers attached to
the link.
• Inter-Area Router LSA: This type LSA is originated by an Area Border Router (ABR)
and describes a prefix that is external to the area, yet internal to the autonomous
system (AS).
• AS-External LSA: This type of LSA is originated by an Autonomous System Border
Router (ASBR) and describes a path to a prefix external to the autonomous system
(AS).
• Link LSA: A router originates a separate Link LSA for each attached link. It provides
the router’s link local address to routers that are attached to the link as well as a list
of IPv6 prefixes that can be associated with the link.
• Intra-Area-Prefix LSA: A link’s designated router originates one or more
Intra-Area-Prefix LSAs to advertise the link’s prefixes throughout the area. A router
can originate multiple Intra-Area-Prefix LSAs for an area to advertise its own prefixes
and those of its attached stub links.
LSA Type
The link state ID identifies the part of the routing domain that is being described by
the advertisement. The value of the LS ID depends on the advertisement’s LS type. LS ID
The time in seconds since the link state advertisement was first originated. Age
A signed 32-bit integer that is used to detect old and duplicate link state
advertisements. The larger the sequence number, the more recent the advertisement. Sequence
The checksum of the complete contents of the advertisement, except the LS age field.
The checksum is used to detect data corruption of an advertisement. This corruption
can occur while an advertisement is being flooded, or while it is being held in a router’s
memory.
Checksum
Configure an OSPFv3 virtual link
If you cannot set up a physical link from the switch to the OSPFv3 backbone area, you
can add a virtual link to connect to the backbone area through a common (non-backbone)
area. You can configure a virtual link between any area border routers that have physical
interfaces to the common area.
