What are 7 LSA Types used by OSPF for IPv4 routing?

Type 1, Router LSA - Advertise network prefixes within an area

Type 2, Network LSA - Indicates the routers attached to broadcast segment within an area

Type 3, Summary LSA - Advertising network prefixes from a different area

Type 4, ASBR Summary LSA - Used to locate ASBR from a different area

Type 5, AS External - Advertising network prefixes that were redistributed in to OSPF

Type 7, NSSA External - For external network prefixes that were redistributed in a local NSSA

What OSPF areas suppress which type of LSA Types?

Stub area - Suppresses Type 4 and Type 5 LSAs

Totally stubby area - Suppresses Type 3, Type 4 and Type 5 LSAs

Not-So-Stubby area - Suppresses Type 4 and Type 5 LSAs but allows Type 7 LSAs

Totally Not-So-Stubby area - Suppresses Type 3, Type 4 and Type 5 LSAs but allows Type 7 LSAs

What are the two ways of summarization in OSPF?

Type 3 or IntraArea summarization
Using command: Area area-id Range network mask

Type 4 and 5 or External Summarization
Using command: Summary-Address network mask

In OSPF neighbor timers have to match. Which network types have which timers?

Broadcast and Point-to-Point
Hello - 10 seconds
Dead - 40 seconds

Non-Broadcast and Point-to-Multipoint
Hello - 30 seconds
Dead - 120 seconds

What is the command for redistributing routes into OSPF?

Redistribute source-protocol [subnets] [Metric metric] [Metric-Type [1][2]] [Tag 0-4294967295] [Route-Map route-map-name]

What is the Redistribute command option of 'Subnet' for?

It configures the redistribution to consider all subnets instead of only classfull /8, /16 and /24 networks.

What does the Include-Connected option do in the Redistribute command for OSPFv3?

In contrary to OSPFv2 any Directly Connected networks will not be automatically distributed in OSPFv3.
When this option is used they will be considered.

IPv4 - Instance ID 64-95
IPv6 - Instance ID 0-31
