Link State Database field descriptions
Use the data in the following table to use the Link State Database tab.
|
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
|
AreaId |
Identifies the area. The OSPF backbone uses the area ID 0.0.0.0. |
|
Type |
Specifies the OSPF interface type. Broadcast LANs, such as Ethernet and IEEE 802.5, use broadcast; X.25 and similar technologies use NBMA; and links that are point-to-point use pointToPoint. |
|
Lsid |
Identifies the piece of the routing domain that the advertisement describes. |
|
RouterId |
Identifies the router in the autonomous system. |
|
Sequence |
Identifies old and duplicate link-state advertisements. |
|
Age |
Specifies the age, in seconds, of the link-state advertisement. |
|
Checksum |
Contains the checksum of the complete contents of the advertisement, except for the age parameter. The checksum does not include the age parameter so that advertisement age increments without updating the checksum. |
