Figure 9-14. OSPF Link State Database

The OSPF Link State Database page displays the following fields:

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. If you want to

change the Router ID you must first disable OSPF. After you set the new Router ID, you must re-

enable OSPF to have the change take effect. The default value is 0.0.0.0, although this is not a valid

Router ID.

Area ID — The ID of an OSPF area to which one of the router interfaces is connected. An Area ID is a

32-bit integer in dotted decimal format that uniquely identifies the area to which an interface is

connected.

LSA Type — The format and function of the link state advertisement. Possible values are:

Router Links

Network Links

Network Summary

ASBR Summary
