Parameter Allows you to perform a search...
Area ID For the 32-bit identifier of the area from which a LSA was
received.
Type For all entries in the database that match one of the following
types:
• Router Links - These packets describe the states of the
router’s links to the area and are only flooded within a
particular area.
• Network Links - These packets are generated by
Designated Routers and describe the set of routers attached
to a particular network.
• Summary Network - These summaries are generated by
Area Border Routers and describe inter-area routes to
various networks. Then can also be used for aggregating
routes.
• Summary AS border - This describes links to Autonomous
System Border Routers and are generated by Area Border
Routers.
• AS external - These packets are generated by Autonomous
System Border Routers and describe routes to destination
external to the Autonomous system. They are flooded
everywhere except stub areas.
• Multicast group - These packets are generated by multicast
groups.
• NSSA external - These packets are generated by Area
Border Routers and describe routes within the NSSA
(Not-So-Stubby-Area).
Router ID Of the link state database for entries originated by this router.
