Field Description
Router ID The 32-bit integer in dotted-decimal format that uniquely identifies the
router within the autonomous system (AS). The router ID is set on the
IP Configuration page.
To change the router ID you must first disable
OSPF. After you set the new router ID, you must reenable OSPF for the
change to take effect. The default value is 0.0.0.0, although this is not a
valid router ID.
LSA Type The format and function of the link state advertisement. LSA Type is
one of the following:
• Area Opaque
• AS Opaque
• Link Opaque
LS ID The link state ID identifies the piece of the routing domain that is being
described by the advertisement.
The value of the LS ID depends on the
advertisement's LS type.
Age The time since the link state advertisement was first originated, in
seconds.
Sequence The sequence number field is a signed 32-bit integer
. It is used to
detect old and duplicate link state advertisements.
The larger the
sequence number
, the more recent the advertisement.
Checksum The checksum is used to detect data corruption of an advertisement.
This corruption can occur while an advertisement is being flooded, or
while it is being held in a router's memory
.
This field is the checksum of
the complete contents of the advertisement, except the LS age field.
