3.Use Table 9-9 to determine the search parameters:

 

Table 9-9.OSPF Link State Database Search Parameters

 

 

 

Parameter

 

Allows you to perform a search...

 

 

 

Area ID

 

For the 32-bit identifier of the area from which a LSA was

 

 

received.

 

 

 

Type

 

For all entries in the database that match one of the following

 

 

types:

 

 

• Router Links - These packets describe the states of the

 

 

router’s links to the area and are only flooded within a

 

 

particular area.

 

 

• Network Links - These packets are generated by

 

 

Designated Routers and describe the set of routers attached

 

 

to a particular network.

 

 

• Summary Network - These summaries are generated by

 

 

Area Border Routers and describe inter-area routes to

 

 

various networks. Then can also be used for aggregating

 

 

routes.

 

 

• Summary AS border - This describes links to Autonomous

 

 

System Border Routers and are generated by Area Border

 

 

Routers.

 

 

• AS external - These packets are generated by Autonomous

 

 

System Border Routers and describe routes to destination

 

 

external to the Autonomous system. They are flooded

 

 

everywhere except stub areas.

 

 

• Multicast group - These packets are generated by multicast

 

 

groups.

 

 

• NSSA external - These packets are generated by Area

 

 

Border Routers and describe routes within the NSSA

 

 

(Not-So-Stubby-Area).

 

 

 

Router ID

 

Of the link state database for entries originated by this router.

 

 

 

Note: If your search produces results, the detailed information displays in the OSPF Link State Database dialog box.
