Hi adam,

Thanks. But I read from cisco ospf design guide
(http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/104/1.pdf) that LSA Type 4 is generated by
ABR instead. So I am really confused.

Hi,

This is probably some help to you!

Type 1 = Router Link Advertisements , generated by every router.
Type 2 = Multi-access segment Network Link Advertisements , generated by DR
Type 3 = Summary Link Advertisements. Summary, generated by the ABR for
EVERY type 1,2. Type 3 can be generated to describe a summary for a bigger
lump of addresses. Works in both directions, so that a Type 3 from Area 1,
can traveres the backbone and go into say Area 2. Depends upon your
configuration.
Type 4 = Summary Link Advertisements. Generated by ASBR.
Type 5 = Autonomous System (AS) External Link Advertisements. Generated by
ASBR.
Type 7 = Not-So-Stubby Areas (NSSA). Generated by external route sources
within a NSSA, or by the ABR ro a NSSA area.

A type 5 is what you'd see for you external routers as long as you weren't
in a NSSA area, where you'd see a type 7 instead. the ABR for the NSSA area
does a type 5 to type 7 conversion. This ABR might let in the type 3's from
the other area. All depends upon the configuration of the router.

Good luck

Adam

how about LSA Type 4 ?
I am not sure it will be solely originated by ABR or also from ASBR.

It is more like this

LSA Type 5 is external routers by ASBR
LSA Type 7 is by NSSA

Hi group

   Sorry for a very simple question, the ospf LSA type 3,4
are all generated by ABR, and the type 7 is originated by
ASBR, right ?

thanks alot
