OSPF is deployed on a campus network to implement network interconnection. The LSDB of R2 is shown in the figure.

What can be determined from the LSDB?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, B

To analyze this question, let's break down the key concepts and the given LSDB (Link State Database) information from the figure:

Understanding the LSDB Output:

The output shows the OSPF LSDB on R2 with Router ID 10.1.123.2.

Area 0.0.0.0 (Area 0) is displayed along with several Link State Advertisements (LSAs) including Router LSAs, Network LSAs, and Summary LSAs.

Area 0.0.0.1 (Area 1) also displays Router LSAs and a Type 7 LSA (NSSA LSA) with Link-State ID 0.0.0.0.

An External LSA (Type 5) with Link-State ID 0.0.0.0 and AdvRouter 10.1.123.2 is also present.

Analysis of Each Option:

Option A: Area 1 is an NSSA.

Correct.

The presence of a Type 7 LSA (NSSA LSA) in the database indicates that Area 1 is configured as an NSSA (Not-So-Stubby Area).

NSSA allows the injection of Type 7 LSAs for external routes while blocking Type 5 LSAs from entering the area.

Option B: R2 translates Type 7 default route into Type 5 default route.

Correct.

In an NSSA, if an ABR (like R2) has the NSSA ASBR capability, it will convert Type 7 LSAs to Type 5 LSAs before injecting them into the backbone area (Area 0).

In the LSDB, we see both a Type 7 LSA (NSSA) and a corresponding Type 5 External LSA, confirming that R2 performs this translation.

Option C: R2 advertises the default route in the OSPF process.

Incorrect.

There is no indication that R2 itself is originating the default route.

The Type 7 LSA in Area 1 and the Type 5 LSA in Area 0 only indicate translation from another source, not R2 advertising it directly.

Option D: Area 1 does not have Type 3 LSAs. The possible cause is that R2 filters Type 3 LSAs in the outbound direction of Area 1.

Incorrect.

In an NSSA area, Type 3 LSAs (Inter-Area Prefix LSAs) are typically not generated for external routes.

The absence of Type 3 LSAs in Area 1 is due to the nature of NSSA itself rather than any filtering configured on R2.

I remember that Type 3 LSAs are for inter-area routes, and if R2 is filtering them, that could explain why they're not showing up in Area 1.

I'm a bit confused about the default route advertisement. I know R2 can do that, but I can't recall if it's specifically mentioned in the LSDB.

I practiced a similar question where R2 was translating Type 7 to Type 5, so I feel like that could be a possibility here too.

I think I remember that NSSA stands for Not-So-Stubby Area, but I'm not entirely sure how to identify it from the LSDB.
