Originated by the ABR — has area scope

Describes networks outside of the area

  • Link State ID: Identifies the piece of the routing domain that
    is being described by the LSA
            LS Type   Link State ID
            _______________________________________________
            1         The originating router's Router ID.
            2         The IP interface address of the
                      network's Designated Router.
            3         The destination network's IP address.
            4         The Router ID of the described AS
                      boundary router.
            5         The destination network's IP address.
  • Advertising Router: The Router ID of the router that originated the LSA.
  • LS Sequence Number: Used for old or duplicated LSA detection
  • LS Checksum: Checksum of the complete LSA including the header
  • plus:
  • (4-byte) Network Mask: Subnet mask of the advertised network. It is used in conjunction with the link-state ID filed, which encapsulates the network address in a Type 3 LSA.
  • (1-byte) Reserved ( set to 0):
  • (3-byte) Metric: This field provides the cost of the route to the network destination.When the summary LSA is representing an aggregated route (using the area-range command), this field is set to the largest current metric of the contributing routes.
  • (1-byte) ToS (not used):This field describes any optional ToS information encoded within the network described. The Junos OS does not use this field.
  • (3-byte) ToS metric ( not used):
