1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,318 [AUDIO LOGO] 2 00:00:03,318 --> 00:00:07,120 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,780 So next, let's jump in and look at our new type 4 00:00:10,780 --> 00:00:13,330 8 and type 9 LSAs. 5 00:00:13,330 --> 00:00:16,510 Now, as we go through, we'll talk about what the type 6 00:00:16,510 --> 00:00:18,700 8 and type 9 are actually for-- 7 00:00:18,700 --> 00:00:21,580 however, when we get into the command line 8 00:00:21,580 --> 00:00:23,470 to look at these in the database, 9 00:00:23,470 --> 00:00:26,560 we'll actually go ahead and take a look at the differences 10 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,090 in the other LSA types as well. 11 00:00:29,090 --> 00:00:32,119 So that's what our goal is going to be in this video. 12 00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:34,780 Let's jump in and start talking about those new type 13 00:00:34,780 --> 00:00:39,280 8 and type 9 LSAs and what they're actually for. 14 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:44,380 So as we mentioned, one of our new LSA types is the type 8. 15 00:00:44,380 --> 00:00:49,300 Now, the type 8 is actually a very interesting LSA type. 16 00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:54,790 The reason for that is it carries link local information. 17 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:57,930 The key word here being local. 18 00:00:57,930 --> 00:00:59,680 We're going to see how this affects things 19 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,440 in just a moment, but keep in mind 20 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,960 that this is local information for a router. 21 00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:09,730 Now, these are called link LSAs, just from a naming convention 22 00:01:09,730 --> 00:01:10,790 perspective. 23 00:01:10,790 --> 00:01:14,110 Now, the reason we need these is as we mentioned 24 00:01:14,110 --> 00:01:18,250 in our previous video, everything in IPv6 25 00:01:18,250 --> 00:01:21,100 uses link local addressing. 26 00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:24,850 If we're going to be using link local addresses as our next hop 27 00:01:24,850 --> 00:01:28,060 and things like this in our routing, well, then clearly, 28 00:01:28,060 --> 00:01:33,230 we have to know the link local addresses of our neighbors. 29 00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:38,560 Now, the interesting part here is since it's, again, local 30 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,640 it only includes directly connected neighbors. 31 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,750 Now, this definitely brings up an interesting situation, 32 00:01:47,750 --> 00:01:49,120 what situation? 33 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:55,120 Well, doesn't that mean that the type 8 is, in fact, breaking 34 00:01:55,120 --> 00:02:00,640 the normal OSPF rule that databases must match. 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,860 How can these databases match? 36 00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:06,220 If they only include connected information. 37 00:02:06,220 --> 00:02:07,780 Every router is going to be connected 38 00:02:07,780 --> 00:02:09,220 to different neighbors. 39 00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:13,930 Therefore, every router will have different type 8 LSAs 40 00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:15,070 in its database. 41 00:02:15,070 --> 00:02:18,560 Therefore, the databases cannot match. 42 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,680 Now, just so we're very clear here, 43 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,640 the type 8 is the exception to the rule, OK? 44 00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:26,740 Generally speaking, yes, the database 45 00:02:26,740 --> 00:02:31,720 is still have to match for all of our other LSA types. 46 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,510 It's fun to point out that it's breaking the rule, 47 00:02:34,510 --> 00:02:37,060 but at the end of the day, it's breaking the rule 48 00:02:37,060 --> 00:02:38,990 because that's what's needed here. 49 00:02:38,990 --> 00:02:42,130 But the rest of OSPF, again, still works 50 00:02:42,130 --> 00:02:45,370 as normal and every router in the area 51 00:02:45,370 --> 00:02:48,170 must have the same matching database. 52 00:02:48,170 --> 00:02:51,490 So yes, it's an exception, but we're not fundamentally 53 00:02:51,490 --> 00:02:55,210 changing that rule in OSPF version 3. 54 00:02:55,210 --> 00:03:01,990 Now, the type 9 LSAs are used to carry the prefixes that are 55 00:03:01,990 --> 00:03:04,570 available on each router ID. 56 00:03:04,570 --> 00:03:10,165 Remember that the type 1s and type 2s in OSPF version 57 00:03:10,165 --> 00:03:14,140 3 only carry topology information. 58 00:03:14,140 --> 00:03:18,050 That would be what router ID is connected to what router ID. 59 00:03:18,050 --> 00:03:20,710 So for example, maybe we have a couple of routers here. 60 00:03:20,710 --> 00:03:23,540 They're, of course, connected together in some fashion. 61 00:03:23,540 --> 00:03:25,660 And we'll just say for the sake of argument 62 00:03:25,660 --> 00:03:30,190 and to keep it simple, maybe this is router ID 1.1.1.1, 63 00:03:30,190 --> 00:03:37,340 this one is 2.2.2.2, and this one is 3.3.3.3. 64 00:03:37,340 --> 00:03:38,980 We'll just keep it simple. 65 00:03:38,980 --> 00:03:42,760 Well, again through the type 1 and type 2 LSAs, 66 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,420 we're going to learn which router IDs are connected 67 00:03:46,420 --> 00:03:48,400 to which other router IDs. 68 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,260 So what I just sort of drew here would 69 00:03:50,260 --> 00:03:53,350 be what we would learn from the type 1s and type 2s. 70 00:03:53,350 --> 00:03:58,750 What the type 9 is going to tell us is, oh, by the way, 71 00:03:58,750 --> 00:04:09,580 3.3.3.3 over here has the prefixes 2001:DB8:3::3/64 72 00:04:09,580 --> 00:04:19,120 and maybe it has a 2001:DB8:100::3/128, 73 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,063 maybe that's its loopback address. 74 00:04:21,063 --> 00:04:22,480 But what we're doing with the type 75 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:28,720 9 LSAs is we are mapping these prefixes to this router ID. 76 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,570 Those two pieces of information together 77 00:04:31,570 --> 00:04:34,120 allow us to fill out our routing tables 78 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,360 to know which prefixes are available through which 79 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,500 router ID. 80 00:04:38,500 --> 00:04:41,620 And again, simply from a naming perspective, 81 00:04:41,620 --> 00:04:46,030 these are called intra-area prefix LSAs 82 00:04:46,030 --> 00:04:51,050 because they're dealing with the prefixes inside of an area. 83 00:04:51,050 --> 00:04:53,680 So just like type 1s and type 2s, 84 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,128 these will not go into other OSPF areas. 85 00:04:57,128 --> 00:04:59,170 So let's go ahead and clean that up a little bit. 86 00:04:59,170 --> 00:05:01,840 Just as a reminder here, remember 87 00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:06,130 that the type has been renamed to inter -area. 88 00:05:06,130 --> 00:05:09,880 This is, of course, the LSA that goes between areas, 89 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:16,360 and the type 4 has been renamed to inter-area router. 90 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:21,340 This, of course, is to advertise ASPRs in other areas. 91 00:05:21,340 --> 00:05:23,810 We talked about this in the previous video. 92 00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:26,170 This is just here as a reminder before we 93 00:05:26,170 --> 00:05:29,200 take a look at the database. 94 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,520 One other thing to be aware of, OSPF version 3 does 95 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:38,230 have different options that will be on the various LSAs. 96 00:05:38,230 --> 00:05:40,630 We don't need to sit here and go through every entry 97 00:05:40,630 --> 00:05:41,920 on the table here. 98 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,865 I just put it here for your reference. 99 00:05:43,865 --> 00:05:45,490 so as we're going through the database, 100 00:05:45,490 --> 00:05:47,950 if you're not sure what one of these options are, 101 00:05:47,950 --> 00:05:50,480 you can come back here and reference to this table 102 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,420 so you'll understand what it's for. 103 00:05:52,420 --> 00:05:55,270 That said, let's take a look at our topology 104 00:05:55,270 --> 00:05:58,120 real quick so we know which routers we're going to look at 105 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,100 and what's going on as far as what entries 106 00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:03,100 we should see in our database. 107 00:06:03,100 --> 00:06:06,600 So we'll be using OSPFv3 topology 1, 108 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,850 and the main thing we want to discuss here 109 00:06:08,850 --> 00:06:12,510 is since we've not actually gotten to our configuration 110 00:06:12,510 --> 00:06:20,400 yet in this skill, routers 6, 1, and 2 are not yet configured. 111 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,350 So what that really means as we go 112 00:06:22,350 --> 00:06:26,260 through this video is as of right now, 113 00:06:26,260 --> 00:06:28,500 we're only going to see information 114 00:06:28,500 --> 00:06:31,470 on this part of the network down here at the bottom. 115 00:06:31,470 --> 00:06:34,050 As such, we'll be looking at the database 116 00:06:34,050 --> 00:06:37,500 mostly from the perspective of router 8 117 00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:39,870 and a little bit on router 7. 118 00:06:39,870 --> 00:06:42,240 But we will see some entries because we 119 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,730 do have some routers in area 100 and, of course, 120 00:06:45,730 --> 00:06:47,470 some routers in our own area. 121 00:06:47,470 --> 00:06:49,830 So let's go ahead and jump in and take a look 122 00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:52,230 at the database. 123 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:59,110 So here on router 8, let's do a show OSPFv3 database. 124 00:06:59,110 --> 00:07:02,190 And we'll start by looking at the type 1 LSAs. 125 00:07:02,190 --> 00:07:04,230 So let's look at the router LSA. 126 00:07:04,230 --> 00:07:06,930 We'll just scroll to the bottom here and pick on one. 127 00:07:06,930 --> 00:07:08,850 The main thing we're trying to see here 128 00:07:08,850 --> 00:07:13,630 is notice that it has entries such as the advertising router. 129 00:07:13,630 --> 00:07:16,200 We can see that it's connected to another router 130 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,910 as a point-to-point link. 131 00:07:17,910 --> 00:07:20,910 We see that neighboring router's router ID, 132 00:07:20,910 --> 00:07:23,490 but notice there's no prefix. 133 00:07:23,490 --> 00:07:26,610 There's no IPv6 prefix here. 134 00:07:26,610 --> 00:07:29,370 This is just topology information. 135 00:07:29,370 --> 00:07:31,930 What router is connected to what other router. 136 00:07:31,930 --> 00:07:33,930 And of course, if we were to scroll through here 137 00:07:33,930 --> 00:07:35,805 and look at other ones, they're all the same. 138 00:07:35,805 --> 00:07:39,060 If we look at the type 3s, we simply take off router. 139 00:07:39,060 --> 00:07:42,310 Remember, these are now called inter-area. 140 00:07:42,310 --> 00:07:45,420 And again, there's two choices here, either the prefix 141 00:07:45,420 --> 00:07:46,410 or the router. 142 00:07:46,410 --> 00:07:49,440 Prefix would be the old type 3s. 143 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,250 So these are going to be entries from other areas. 144 00:07:53,250 --> 00:07:56,130 Once again, we'll scroll to the bottom and take a look at one, 145 00:07:56,130 --> 00:07:57,900 and notice what we see here. 146 00:07:57,900 --> 00:08:01,740 This is now being advertised by our ABR, 147 00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:03,030 in this case, router 3. 148 00:08:03,030 --> 00:08:07,930 And we see that this actually does include the prefix. 149 00:08:07,930 --> 00:08:10,800 So this last entry here happens to be 150 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,780 looks like router 4's actual loopback interface just based 151 00:08:15,780 --> 00:08:18,000 on the address and the prefix length. 152 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,030 But you can see that this is actually advertising 153 00:08:21,030 --> 00:08:23,790 the same way we did a type 3. 154 00:08:23,790 --> 00:08:28,600 Now, we do not have any ASPRs just yet in our topology. 155 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,650 So if we were to right now say router, 156 00:08:31,650 --> 00:08:33,850 there actually won't be any entries. 157 00:08:33,850 --> 00:08:37,150 So we'll look at this one again in a future video. 158 00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:39,480 Let's take a look at the routing table just briefly. 159 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:44,790 If we do a show IPv6 route and we'll filter by OSPF, 160 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:49,530 notice that all of the next hop addresses 161 00:08:49,530 --> 00:08:54,270 are the link local address of router 7, which 162 00:08:54,270 --> 00:08:56,200 it's a little difficult to highlight here. 163 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:57,720 I just highlighted a few of them. 164 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,320 But it's the FE80::7. 165 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:02,850 By the way, another good command we 166 00:09:02,850 --> 00:09:05,640 have while we're here just taking a look at this, 167 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,610 show IPv6 interface brief. 168 00:09:08,610 --> 00:09:11,140 Just like we have show IP interface brief, 169 00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:14,110 and we can see all these addresses. 170 00:09:14,110 --> 00:09:17,220 We can also see here our link local addresses. 171 00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:21,060 Notice by the way, that my gigabit ethernet interface 172 00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:24,420 and my loopback 0 interface both have the same link 173 00:09:24,420 --> 00:09:25,530 local address. 174 00:09:25,530 --> 00:09:28,770 This is actually fine because, well, they're local, 175 00:09:28,770 --> 00:09:31,170 they're not routable, so you can actually 176 00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:35,620 use the same link local address on every interface on a router. 177 00:09:35,620 --> 00:09:37,180 It's not a problem at all. 178 00:09:37,180 --> 00:09:40,680 So now let's take a look at some of those new LSAs. 179 00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,170 Let's start with the type 8. 180 00:09:43,170 --> 00:09:45,360 So we'll go back to our database command 181 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,130 and, again, these are called link locals, 182 00:09:47,130 --> 00:09:48,570 so we'll just say link. 183 00:09:48,570 --> 00:09:51,630 And here we see a type 8. 184 00:09:51,630 --> 00:09:54,330 Notice that what it's showing us here 185 00:09:54,330 --> 00:09:58,360 is the link local address of our neighbors. 186 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,440 So for example, I'm on router 8, my neighbor 187 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,120 is router 7, so let's look up here 188 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:08,190 at the top at the advertising router is 10.7.7.7, 189 00:10:08,190 --> 00:10:09,960 and look what it's telling me. 190 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:15,300 It's telling me that the link local address is FE80::7. 191 00:10:15,300 --> 00:10:19,230 Now, it also happens to include the prefix address 192 00:10:19,230 --> 00:10:25,860 that's on that link, so the 2001:DB8:78::/64. 193 00:10:25,860 --> 00:10:27,670 It lists that as well. 194 00:10:27,670 --> 00:10:31,800 But the main purpose of this is to get that link local address. 195 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,900 The bottom entry here is, of course, 196 00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:37,210 me advertising my own into the database. 197 00:10:37,210 --> 00:10:41,920 So here on router 8, we have entries for 7 and 8 itself. 198 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,650 But if we were to go do this exact same command on router 7, 199 00:10:46,650 --> 00:10:49,590 this one has entries for 7 and 8, that's itself 200 00:10:49,590 --> 00:10:51,720 and rounder 8, of course, is the neighbor. 201 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:56,820 But notice it also has an entry here for router 3 out gigabit 2 202 00:10:56,820 --> 00:11:02,970 advertising its link local address of FE80::3, which, 203 00:11:02,970 --> 00:11:05,770 of course, 8 knew nothing about. 204 00:11:05,770 --> 00:11:09,180 So this is simply showing that again, as we mentioned, 205 00:11:09,180 --> 00:11:15,190 the LSA type 8s do not have to be identical through the area. 206 00:11:15,190 --> 00:11:16,770 In fact, they will not be. 207 00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:21,280 It's all about local information about your local neighbors. 208 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,880 So let's jump back over to router 8 again, and let's 209 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,220 take a look at the type 9s. 210 00:11:26,220 --> 00:11:29,050 So instead of link, we say prefix. 211 00:11:29,050 --> 00:11:30,840 Now, notice what we're doing. 212 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,570 These are entries for the whole area. 213 00:11:33,570 --> 00:11:37,770 Notice, for example, this top entry is from router 3. 214 00:11:37,770 --> 00:11:40,740 And it's telling us about the three prefixes 215 00:11:40,740 --> 00:11:42,600 that are connected to router. 216 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,480 We have our entry from router 7 and if we scroll down 217 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,690 a little bit and then back up so we can see the whole thing, 218 00:11:48,690 --> 00:11:51,570 we can now see that it's router 7 telling us 219 00:11:51,570 --> 00:11:54,160 about its 4 prefixes. 220 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:57,660 So this is, again, the equivalent of the information 221 00:11:57,660 --> 00:12:01,140 that we used to get in type 1 and type 2 LSAs 222 00:12:01,140 --> 00:12:03,450 in OSPF version 2. 223 00:12:03,450 --> 00:12:09,490 This information would be the same in the whole area. 224 00:12:09,490 --> 00:12:14,700 In this video, we took a look at the new LSA types, type 8 225 00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:17,970 and 9, that are used to advertise the link 226 00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:20,190 local information for our neighbors 227 00:12:20,190 --> 00:12:23,440 in the case of the type 8 and, of course, 228 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,660 all of the prefixes in the area tied to the router 229 00:12:27,660 --> 00:12:31,430 ID in the case of the type 9. 230 00:12:31,430 --> 00:12:33,320 We also jumped into the command line, 231 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,200 took a look at some of these in the actual database, 232 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,930 including the changes to the type 1. 233 00:12:38,930 --> 00:12:41,780 We saw that although renamed, the type 3 234 00:12:41,780 --> 00:12:45,380 was pretty much the same as it was in OSPF version 2, 235 00:12:45,380 --> 00:12:47,060 just again renamed. 236 00:12:47,060 --> 00:12:51,440 And then we also took a look at the type 8 and the type 9s 237 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,050 and we saw how the type 8s actually 238 00:12:54,050 --> 00:12:57,290 don't have to be the same in the entire area, 239 00:12:57,290 --> 00:13:00,480 and in fact, as we saw, they won't be. 240 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,510 I hope this has been informative for you. 241 00:13:02,510 --> 00:13:05,590 And I'd like to thank you for viewing. 242 00:13:05,590 --> 00:13:09,000
