Router LSA (Type 1) (Rtr) Fields

Capability Bits

A bit that indicates the capability of the Brocade device. The bit can be set to
one of the following:

B – The device is an area border router.

E – The device is an AS boundary router.

V – The device is a virtual link endpoint.

W – The device is a wildcard multicast receiver.

Options

A 24-bit field that enables IPv6 OSPF routers to support the optional
capabilities. When set, the following bits indicate the following:
V6 – The device should be included in IPv6 routing calculations.
E – The device floods AS-external-LSAs as described in RFC 2740.
MC – The device forwards multicast packets as described in RFC 1586.
N – The device handles type 7 LSAs as described in RFC 1584.
R – The originator is an active router.
DC –The device handles demand circuits.

Type

The type of interface. Possible types can be the following:

Point-to-point – A point-to-point connection to another router.

Transit – A connection to a transit network.

Virtual link – A connection to a virtual link.

Metric

The cost of using this router interface for outbound traffic.

Interface ID

The ID assigned to the router interface.

Neighbor Interface ID

The interface ID that the neighboring router has been advertising in hello
packets sent on the attached link.

Neighbor Router ID

The router ID (IPv4 address) of the neighboring router that advertised the
route. (By default, the Brocade router ID is the IPv4 address configured on the
lowest numbered loopback interface. If the Brocade device does not have a
loopback interface, the default router ID is the lowest numbered IPv4 address
configured on the device.)
