1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,248 [AUDIO LOGO] 2 00:00:04,248 --> 00:00:07,090 3 00:00:07,090 --> 00:00:10,090 So now that we've looked at the different type of LSAs 4 00:00:10,090 --> 00:00:13,880 in more detail, now it's time to jump onto the command line, 5 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,120 take a look at these LSAs in the database 6 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,510 so we can see what they actually contain, 7 00:00:19,510 --> 00:00:21,640 and take a look at the different fields, 8 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,980 and what they represent in our OSPF environment. 9 00:00:24,980 --> 00:00:27,140 So let's start by looking at our diagram. 10 00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:29,680 So remember what our topology looks like 11 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:31,720 and what our different area types are. 12 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,820 And then we'll jump in to the command line 13 00:00:33,820 --> 00:00:36,680 and take a look at that database. 14 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:38,710 So for this demonstration, we'll again, 15 00:00:38,710 --> 00:00:41,500 be using OSPF topology 2. 16 00:00:41,500 --> 00:00:43,510 And just some things to keep in mind 17 00:00:43,510 --> 00:00:47,020 as we're going through this, area 200 18 00:00:47,020 --> 00:00:49,960 is configured as an NSSA. 19 00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,350 We have router 6 acting as the ABR 20 00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:56,170 between area 0 and area 200. 21 00:00:56,170 --> 00:00:59,140 We have router 1 acting as an ABR, 22 00:00:59,140 --> 00:01:03,850 as well as router 3 for area 100 going into area 0. 23 00:01:03,850 --> 00:01:09,100 And we have router 2 who's an ASBR, redistributing the EIGRP 24 00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:12,370 routes into area 100. 25 00:01:12,370 --> 00:01:17,230 Also as a note, router 10 has a loopback interface 26 00:01:17,230 --> 00:01:23,170 that is also being redistributed into OSPF in the NSSA. 27 00:01:23,170 --> 00:01:25,870 This topology is going to allow us to look 28 00:01:25,870 --> 00:01:29,110 at all of our LSA types. 29 00:01:29,110 --> 00:01:32,830 We'll see 1 and 2 looking in area 0. 30 00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:37,510 We'll see type 3 LSAs coming from areas 200 and 100. 31 00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:43,030 We'll also see some type 5 LSAs, along with type 4 LSAs 32 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:47,620 coming for the routes from router 9 and from Router 10. 33 00:01:47,620 --> 00:01:49,840 Then we'll take a look at our type 7 34 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,340 LSA in our NSSA area, area 200. 35 00:01:54,340 --> 00:01:57,340 So let's jump in and start looking at the different LSAs. 36 00:01:57,340 --> 00:02:00,220 And we'll be looking primarily at router 7. 37 00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:03,340 But, of course, we'll have to jump up to router 6 38 00:02:03,340 --> 00:02:05,170 to look at our type 7. 39 00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:08,330 But let's begin on router 7. 40 00:02:08,330 --> 00:02:10,550 So let's start by just looking at the routing table. 41 00:02:10,550 --> 00:02:13,220 Just do a show ip route ospf. 42 00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:15,360 And what we see here is we do, in fact, 43 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:21,050 have a combination of inter-area routes, intra-area routes, 44 00:02:21,050 --> 00:02:23,900 and external routes. 45 00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:29,030 Another good command to keep an eye on is show ip ospf route. 46 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:33,830 This actually shows the OSPF routing table. 47 00:02:33,830 --> 00:02:37,430 These are the routes that OSPF has chosen as best, 48 00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:40,190 and is trying to put into the routing table. 49 00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:42,200 We can actually see here the routes that 50 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:44,600 have been chosen as best, and it's trying 51 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,040 to put into the routing table. 52 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,400 Let's talk just for a moment about where 53 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,730 these different components fall into the OSPF decision process. 54 00:02:53,730 --> 00:02:56,750 The first thing is the link state database 55 00:02:56,750 --> 00:02:58,160 with its entries. 56 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,780 This, of course, is what we're going 57 00:02:59,780 --> 00:03:03,830 to be looking at mostly in this demonstration. 58 00:03:03,830 --> 00:03:06,920 The best routes from the link state database 59 00:03:06,920 --> 00:03:11,300 are then put into the OSPF RIB. 60 00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,720 This is the O-S-P-F RIB. 61 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:18,170 And that's what this command we just looked at showed us. 62 00:03:18,170 --> 00:03:22,760 This is what we see with the show ip ospf route. 63 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,310 The routes that are actually marked for entry 64 00:03:25,310 --> 00:03:30,530 into the routing table then get put into the global RIB. 65 00:03:30,530 --> 00:03:33,380 This, of course, is what we see with the show ip route. 66 00:03:33,380 --> 00:03:36,270 And not that it's incredibly important to this discussion. 67 00:03:36,270 --> 00:03:39,060 But just to wrap this up, of course, 68 00:03:39,060 --> 00:03:41,480 all of the entries in the global RIB 69 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:47,150 then get installed into the FIB, or the Forwarding Information 70 00:03:47,150 --> 00:03:51,530 Base for CEF or Cisco Express Forwarding. 71 00:03:51,530 --> 00:03:54,770 So ultimately, this is the table used for the actual packet 72 00:03:54,770 --> 00:03:55,710 forwarding. 73 00:03:55,710 --> 00:03:57,500 So again, just as a review. 74 00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,350 If we do a show ip route, we see this table. 75 00:04:00,350 --> 00:04:04,280 If we do a show ip ospf route, that's when we see this table. 76 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,500 That's the last command we just did. 77 00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:09,690 And, of course, for the rest of this discussion, 78 00:04:09,690 --> 00:04:11,700 we're going to be looking at the database. 79 00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:14,180 So when we do a show ip ospf database, 80 00:04:14,180 --> 00:04:16,760 we'll be looking at the link state database. 81 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,269 And just for completeness, if you want to look at the FIB, 82 00:04:20,269 --> 00:04:24,410 on most platforms, it would just be show ip cef. 83 00:04:24,410 --> 00:04:26,390 But let's go ahead and take a look now 84 00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:30,150 in more detail at the actual database. 85 00:04:30,150 --> 00:04:34,160 So let's just start with the show ip ospf database. 86 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,530 This just gives us a summary of all 87 00:04:36,530 --> 00:04:40,610 of the different LSA types that are currently in our database. 88 00:04:40,610 --> 00:04:42,810 We'll be looking at these in more detail. 89 00:04:42,810 --> 00:04:44,900 But this is just like a summarization. 90 00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:47,720 And if you actually just want a count, 91 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,660 there's also other options here for filtering this. 92 00:04:51,660 --> 00:04:54,840 One of them is database summary. 93 00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:57,590 So it's sort of funny because the command can actually be 94 00:04:57,590 --> 00:05:01,850 show ip ospf database database. 95 00:05:01,850 --> 00:05:04,070 And what this does is just show us 96 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:07,250 a counter of literally how many of each 97 00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:10,680 type are in the OSPF database. 98 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,650 What we're going to do, though, is focus more 99 00:05:12,650 --> 00:05:14,520 on the individual types. 100 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,340 So let's start by taking a look at the type LSA or the router 101 00:05:19,340 --> 00:05:20,360 LSAs. 102 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,570 So we'll take database off of here, and we will say router. 103 00:05:23,570 --> 00:05:25,370 Now this first entry happens to be 104 00:05:25,370 --> 00:05:27,500 the entry coming from router 1. 105 00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:30,350 The first thing we see is the LS age. 106 00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:35,160 The LS age here is how long this has been in the database. 107 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,990 We also have some options. 108 00:05:36,990 --> 00:05:39,140 We have no TOS capability. 109 00:05:39,140 --> 00:05:41,240 TOS is type of service. 110 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,400 This is simply not supported on Cisco routers. 111 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,050 So this will pretty much always just say no TOS capability. 112 00:05:48,050 --> 00:05:53,060 And then we also see DC here, which is demand circuit. 113 00:05:53,060 --> 00:05:54,980 It just means that this router is 114 00:05:54,980 --> 00:05:57,810 capable of doing demand circuits. 115 00:05:57,810 --> 00:06:00,240 We see the LS type is router links. 116 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,120 That make sense, because that's what we asked to look at. 117 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,900 We see the link state ID, which is the router ID. 118 00:06:06,900 --> 00:06:10,380 And the advertising router is also the router ID. 119 00:06:10,380 --> 00:06:13,950 These are going to be the same on type 1 LSAs. 120 00:06:13,950 --> 00:06:17,010 They'll be different on other types of LSAs. 121 00:06:17,010 --> 00:06:18,960 We also see the sequence number, which 122 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,990 we use to ensure that the database is up to date. 123 00:06:21,990 --> 00:06:24,360 The checksum, of course, for error correction, 124 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,280 the length in bytes. 125 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:30,720 And we also see that router 1 is announcing itself as an ABR 126 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:32,460 into the environment. 127 00:06:32,460 --> 00:06:35,010 Then we see that it has four links. 128 00:06:35,010 --> 00:06:37,690 And then it starts breaking them down for us. 129 00:06:37,690 --> 00:06:40,830 So we have one link that's connected to a stub network. 130 00:06:40,830 --> 00:06:46,680 That stub network is 10.1.1.1 with a mask of a /32. 131 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,290 Now just based on our topology and our knowledge, 132 00:06:49,290 --> 00:06:53,250 we happen to know that that's its loopback interface. 133 00:06:53,250 --> 00:06:56,400 Our second link here is connected to another router. 134 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,020 It's a point-to-point link. 135 00:06:58,020 --> 00:07:00,330 And that's connected to router 3. 136 00:07:00,330 --> 00:07:04,300 We also see its IP address on that interface. 137 00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,420 If we scroll down, we see that it has another connection 138 00:07:07,420 --> 00:07:08,680 to a stub network. 139 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,850 Notice that it's also listing that as the link 2 router 3. 140 00:07:13,850 --> 00:07:16,000 These point-to-point links are listed 141 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,620 both with a topology entry, as well as a network advertisement 142 00:07:20,620 --> 00:07:22,580 being a stub network. 143 00:07:22,580 --> 00:07:24,620 Then we have the transit network, 144 00:07:24,620 --> 00:07:29,170 which is the multi-access network between routers 1, 6, 145 00:07:29,170 --> 00:07:30,220 and 7. 146 00:07:30,220 --> 00:07:32,080 This is listed as the transit network. 147 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,850 We see who the DR is. 148 00:07:33,850 --> 00:07:36,610 In this case, the DR is actually .7, 149 00:07:36,610 --> 00:07:39,490 which makes sense because it's the highest IP address. 150 00:07:39,490 --> 00:07:43,520 And our interface on that is .1. 151 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,370 Now as we can see, we have other entries 152 00:07:45,370 --> 00:07:48,925 here from other routers, here starting with router 3. 153 00:07:48,925 --> 00:07:51,040 But we're not here to look at the whole database. 154 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,010 We just want to look at the different LSAs. 155 00:07:54,010 --> 00:07:57,610 So next, since we know we have this transit network, 156 00:07:57,610 --> 00:07:59,830 let's take a look at our type 2's. 157 00:07:59,830 --> 00:08:02,810 So we'll take off router, and we'll put in network. 158 00:08:02,810 --> 00:08:05,680 So here's that type 2 LSA. 159 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,070 Notice that it's coming from the DR. Notice 160 00:08:09,070 --> 00:08:12,070 the link state ID is the address of the DR, 161 00:08:12,070 --> 00:08:13,750 and it even tells us that. 162 00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:16,510 Also we see that the advertising router 163 00:08:16,510 --> 00:08:21,430 is in fact router 7's router ID, which make sense since he's 164 00:08:21,430 --> 00:08:22,600 the DR. 165 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,070 And then notice down here it lists the subnet mask in use 166 00:08:27,070 --> 00:08:28,460 on that network. 167 00:08:28,460 --> 00:08:33,070 So the network mask, along with the link state ID would 168 00:08:33,070 --> 00:08:40,809 actually tell us what the network is, 50.0.167.0/24. 169 00:08:40,809 --> 00:08:44,260 Those two pieces of information together define the network. 170 00:08:44,260 --> 00:08:46,580 And then, of course, here at the very bottom, 171 00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:52,160 it lists all of the router IDs attached to that segment. 172 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,220 Notice that the other fields that we didn't mention 173 00:08:55,220 --> 00:08:59,070 are just the same as they are in a type 1. 174 00:08:59,070 --> 00:09:01,080 Next up would be the type 3's. 175 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,700 These are called summary LSAs, of course. 176 00:09:03,700 --> 00:09:05,670 The first thing to notice here is 177 00:09:05,670 --> 00:09:11,010 that the type 3 LSA has this new option on it that says upward. 178 00:09:11,010 --> 00:09:14,610 This is referred to as the OSPF downward bit. 179 00:09:14,610 --> 00:09:18,010 And I know that seems odd since it says upward. 180 00:09:18,010 --> 00:09:20,340 But the thing is the option being 181 00:09:20,340 --> 00:09:25,440 set to upward simply as a way of saying that the downward bit is 182 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:26,410 not set. 183 00:09:26,410 --> 00:09:29,010 So we generally call this the downward bit. 184 00:09:29,010 --> 00:09:33,010 And we'll talk about this more when we get into MPLS. 185 00:09:33,010 --> 00:09:35,970 This is for MPLS loop prevention when 186 00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:39,820 we're dealing with duplicate PES and things like that. 187 00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:41,800 So we'll get more into this later. 188 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:43,920 But just for now, be aware that this is where 189 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,500 it's carried in the type 3 LSA. 190 00:09:46,500 --> 00:09:49,950 And if we're not dealing with MPLS and VRFs, 191 00:09:49,950 --> 00:09:52,470 then this is going to be set to upward, 192 00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:57,390 meaning again the downward bit flag is not set. 193 00:09:57,390 --> 00:10:00,660 So next, we see the link state ID, 194 00:10:00,660 --> 00:10:02,510 which in these first two examples here, 195 00:10:02,510 --> 00:10:06,380 notice that they're both 10.2.2.2. 196 00:10:06,380 --> 00:10:09,840 That's actually router 2's loopback interface, 197 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,380 which is over in area 100. 198 00:10:12,380 --> 00:10:16,310 Notice that we're learning this from two different advertising 199 00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:19,610 routers because we have two different ABRs-- 200 00:10:19,610 --> 00:10:24,140 10.1.1.1 and 10.3.3.3. 201 00:10:24,140 --> 00:10:25,670 The only other thing to note here 202 00:10:25,670 --> 00:10:29,190 is the network mask is carried down here at the bottom. 203 00:10:29,190 --> 00:10:31,310 So again, if we apply the network mask 204 00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:34,520 with the link state ID, which is the actual network being 205 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,360 advertised, this tells us the actual network. 206 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,450 If we scroll down to something that's a network rather than 207 00:10:41,450 --> 00:10:42,990 a loopback address. 208 00:10:42,990 --> 00:10:45,320 So for example, these entries. 209 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,630 We have an entry here for the network 50.2.61.0. 210 00:10:50,630 --> 00:10:53,310 Now we can see that that's a /24. 211 00:10:53,310 --> 00:10:55,970 So this is telling us that, that network 212 00:10:55,970 --> 00:10:59,900 is available through router 6, which of course, is also 213 00:10:59,900 --> 00:11:01,690 an ABR. 214 00:11:01,690 --> 00:11:04,840 Next up, let's take a look at our type 5's. 215 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:06,498 So these are going to be external. 216 00:11:06,498 --> 00:11:08,290 And for now, we're just going to focus here 217 00:11:08,290 --> 00:11:10,000 on router 9's loopback. 218 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,050 It happens to be our first entry. 219 00:11:12,050 --> 00:11:14,180 So first thing to note is it again, 220 00:11:14,180 --> 00:11:17,960 has that upward bit or the downward bit that's not set. 221 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,410 So listing it as upward. 222 00:11:20,410 --> 00:11:23,830 And then notice that once again, just like a type 3, 223 00:11:23,830 --> 00:11:27,980 the link state ID is the actual network being advertised. 224 00:11:27,980 --> 00:11:30,880 So it's 10.9.9.9. 225 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,980 But here's the important part. 226 00:11:32,980 --> 00:11:37,720 The advertising router is 10.2.2.2. 227 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:41,050 That is a router not in our area. 228 00:11:41,050 --> 00:11:46,540 We would have no idea how to get to 10.2.2.2, because we do not 229 00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:48,490 have a type 1 LSA for it. 230 00:11:48,490 --> 00:11:50,870 We'll demonstrate that in just a moment. 231 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:53,260 But notice we also have the network mask here. 232 00:11:53,260 --> 00:11:57,820 And external type 5 LSAs do carry some extra information 233 00:11:57,820 --> 00:11:58,480 here. 234 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,460 They have the metric type, which can either 235 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,230 be a type 1 or a type 2. 236 00:12:02,230 --> 00:12:05,480 We'll cover that in more detail in a future skill. 237 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:09,140 We also have a metric listed here, the forwarding address, 238 00:12:09,140 --> 00:12:11,320 which we will also cover in more detail, 239 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,810 as well as any external route tag 240 00:12:13,810 --> 00:12:16,060 that may be set on this route. 241 00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:19,300 Now again, the problem with getting to 10.2.2.2 242 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:22,210 is if we do our show ip ospf database again, 243 00:12:22,210 --> 00:12:25,780 and this time we say router 10.2.2.2, 244 00:12:25,780 --> 00:12:27,850 notice that there's no entry. 245 00:12:27,850 --> 00:12:30,610 Again, 10.2.2.2 is in a different area. 246 00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:31,930 It's over in area 100. 247 00:12:31,930 --> 00:12:34,060 And we're currently in area 0. 248 00:12:34,060 --> 00:12:37,360 This router, router 7 would have no idea 249 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,730 how to get to this advertising router. 250 00:12:39,730 --> 00:12:43,640 And this is exactly what the type 4's are going to give us. 251 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:44,980 Let's take a look. 252 00:12:44,980 --> 00:12:47,020 It's actually ASBR summary. 253 00:12:47,020 --> 00:12:48,610 I usually just type ASBR. 254 00:12:48,610 --> 00:12:51,050 But there's the whole command for you. 255 00:12:51,050 --> 00:12:54,760 And notice exactly what this is telling me. 256 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,580 Notice what the link state ID is. 257 00:12:57,580 --> 00:13:00,310 And we don't have to go into a whole lot of detail on these. 258 00:13:00,310 --> 00:13:04,750 Notice that they're almost identical to type 3's 259 00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:06,920 that we just talked about a moment ago. 260 00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:10,090 The only thing that makes these different from a type 3 261 00:13:10,090 --> 00:13:12,820 is what's being advertised. 262 00:13:12,820 --> 00:13:14,590 The link state ID. 263 00:13:14,590 --> 00:13:16,120 And it even tells you in parentheses 264 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,860 afterwards what it is. 265 00:13:17,860 --> 00:13:20,890 It's the AS boundary router address. 266 00:13:20,890 --> 00:13:26,140 Specifically, it is the router ID of the ASBR. 267 00:13:26,140 --> 00:13:28,750 And notice that just like with the type 3's, 268 00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:32,770 we're getting this information from both of our ABRs-- 269 00:13:32,770 --> 00:13:36,400 10.1.1.1 and 10.3.3.3. 270 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,550 So finally, let's look at type 7's. 271 00:13:39,550 --> 00:13:41,590 But as I mentioned before, we can't exactly 272 00:13:41,590 --> 00:13:44,920 look at them here because if we say NSSA here, 273 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,050 we're going to have no entries. 274 00:13:47,050 --> 00:13:52,990 Remember that the type 7 only lives inside of the NSSA. 275 00:13:52,990 --> 00:13:56,110 Router 7 here is not in the NSSA. 276 00:13:56,110 --> 00:13:57,670 So we're going to have to jump over 277 00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,740 to a router that is in there. 278 00:13:59,740 --> 00:14:01,270 We'll just use router 6. 279 00:14:01,270 --> 00:14:04,810 So on router 6, we'll do our show ip ospf database. 280 00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:07,150 And we'll do the NSSA here. 281 00:14:07,150 --> 00:14:10,990 And we'll see that now we have a type 7 for that loopback 282 00:14:10,990 --> 00:14:16,910 interface on router 10, which happens to be 100.10.10.0. 283 00:14:16,910 --> 00:14:21,280 And as we can see by the network mask here, it's a /24. 284 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:23,210 The advertising router, of course, 285 00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:25,390 is router 10's router ID. 286 00:14:25,390 --> 00:14:30,550 Notice that this is almost identical to a type 5 LSA. 287 00:14:30,550 --> 00:14:32,800 And it doesn't really need to be any different, 288 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:34,420 because we're just using the type 289 00:14:34,420 --> 00:14:37,660 7 to get this through the NSSA. 290 00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:41,230 We'll be covering this in more detail in a future skill 291 00:14:41,230 --> 00:14:45,530 when we cover OSPF area types in greater detail. 292 00:14:45,530 --> 00:14:47,710 But all we really need to see for right now 293 00:14:47,710 --> 00:14:52,600 is the fundamental difference on this LSA from a type 5, 294 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:57,550 is this option here that says type 7/5 translation. 295 00:14:57,550 --> 00:15:02,080 It's basically the originator, in this case router 10, 296 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:06,670 asking our ABR, in this case, router 6, 297 00:15:06,670 --> 00:15:10,960 to translate this into a type 5 LSA. 298 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,970 And in fact, if we say show ip ospf external 299 00:15:15,970 --> 00:15:18,610 and filter it by self originated, 300 00:15:18,610 --> 00:15:21,440 notice we are, in fact, translating it. 301 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:22,610 There it is. 302 00:15:22,610 --> 00:15:27,550 This is us generating the type 5 on behalf of the type 7. 303 00:15:27,550 --> 00:15:31,060 We are doing the translation. 304 00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:33,970 If we do a show ip ospf, and if we 305 00:15:33,970 --> 00:15:36,440 look at our information for area 200, 306 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:41,770 notice it even says perform type 7 to 5 LSA translation. 307 00:15:41,770 --> 00:15:44,240 And we can see that router 6 is. 308 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,950 Again, we'll be covering this in more detail in a future skill. 309 00:15:47,950 --> 00:15:51,140 But I at least wanted you to see the type 7's for now. 310 00:15:51,140 --> 00:15:55,170 So you can get an idea of how these work. 311 00:15:55,170 --> 00:15:58,410 In this video, we jumped into the command line, 312 00:15:58,410 --> 00:16:02,790 and really got a detailed look at each of these LSA types, 313 00:16:02,790 --> 00:16:05,760 what they look like, what information they contain. 314 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:10,470 We even got to see how our ABR between an NSSA 315 00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:13,740 and a normal area, in our case, area 0, 316 00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:20,430 how that ABR is translating the LSA from a type 7 to a type 5. 317 00:16:20,430 --> 00:16:22,560 I hope this has been informative for you, 318 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,460 and I'd like to thank you for viewing. 319 00:16:25,460 --> 00:16:29,000
