RE: OSPF - DNA?

Hello,
For what I can see,

They mean Do Not Age, as in demand circuit, which is very similar to
virtual link if you think about it. (excepting only having to be to be
defined on both sides of the link). This saves the trouble of having to
forward over the virtual link every hello that occurs on OSPF. Are you
sure you didn't have at least a vlink with 160.10.32.1 up?

Subject: OSPF - DNA?

I was working in the lab with virtual links and tunnels on OSPF areas.
I noticed at one point where I have the tunnel built, but did not have
connectivity to area 0 completed from a remote (non-0) area. I did a
show ip ospf database and received the following:

Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum
44.44.44.17 160.10.32.1 9 (DNA) 0x80000001 0xD505
44.44.44.32 160.10.32.1 9 (DNA) 0x80000001 0xE4F5
44.44.44.48 160.10.32.1 9 (DNA) 0x80000001 0x4486
44.44.44.64 160.10.32.1 9 (DNA) 0x80000001 0xA317
44.44.44.128 160.10.32.1 9 (DNA) 0x80000001 0x2159
160.10.15.0 160.10.32.1 9 (DNA) 0x80000001 0xA1F5
160.10.15.0 160.10.37.2 14 0x80000003 0xF658
160.10.32.0 160.10.32.1 9 (DNA) 0x80000001 0xC07C
160.10.32.0 160.10.37.2 1759 0x80000003 0xED73

I have never seen the "(DNA)" entry in this output before. I can't seem
to locate a reference to it in the doc CD. Anyone has any ideas on what
this means?
