Displaying the Link
State Database
The link state database contains information about different link state
advertisements (LSAs).
The link state database represents changes to the topology of the
network based on information from every router within the areas. If the
areas are large, the link state database may change frequently due to
geographical events.
When a router is powered up on a network, it takes a short time to learn
about other routes in its area. Router convergence occurs when the
routers in an area agree on the best path to a destination. In very large
networks, router convergence may occur infrequently and for short
periods only, due to network changes. You can check for router
convergence by displaying the link state database.
