Link-scope LSDB Field Descriptions

Use the data in the following table to use the Link-scope LSDB tab.

Name

Description

IfIndex

Shows the identifier of the link from which the LSA was received.

Type

Shows the type of the link-state advertisement. Each link state type has a separate advertisement format. Link-scope LSAs not recognized by the router can be stored in the database.

RouterId

Shows the 32 bit number that uniquely identifies the originating router in the autonomous system.

Lsid

Specifies the piece of the routing domain that is being described by the advertisement.

Sequence

Shows a signed 32-bit integer that detects old and duplicate link-state advertisements. The larger the sequence number, the more recent the advertisement.

Age

Shows the age of the link-state advertisement in seconds.

Checksum

Specifies the checksum of the complete contents of the advertisement, except the age field. The age field is not affected so that the advertisement age value increments without updating the checksum. The checksum used is the same for ISO connectionless datagrams, the Fletcher checksum.
