LSA types are defined as
follows:
LSA Name Description
1 Router LSA
Generated by all routers in an area to describe
their directly attached links (intra-area routes).
Does not leave the area.
 
2 Network LSA
Generated by the DR of a broadcast or nonbroadcast
segment to describe the neighbors
connected to that segment. Does not leave the
area.
 
3 Summary LSA
Generated by the area border router (ABR) to
describe a route to neighbors outside the area
(inter-area route).
 
4 Summary LSA
Generated by the ABR to describe a route to an
autonomous system border router (ASBR) to
neighbors outside the area.
 
5 External LSA
Generated by the ASBR to describe routes
redistributed into the area. These routes appear
as E1 or E2 in the IP routing table. E2 (default)
uses a static cost throughout the OSPF domain,
as it only takes the cost into account that is
reported at redistribution. E1 uses a cumulative
cost of the cost reported into the OSPF domain at
redistribution plus the local cost to the ASBR.
 
6 Multicast LSA Used in multicast OSPF. Not supported by Cisco.
 
7 NSSA External
LSA
Generated by an ASBR inside a not-so-stubby
(NSSA) area to describe routes redistributed into
the NSSA area. LSA 7 is translated into LSA 5 as
it leaves the NSSA area. These routes appear as
N1 or N2 in the IP routing table inside the NSSA
area. Much like LSA 5, N2 is a static cost while
N1 is a cumulative cost that includes the cost up
to the ASBR.
