Is LSU different from DBD? OR both are same?
As explained earlier, DBD (Database Description / Type2 OSPF Packet) is only a summary of the OSPF Database in a router. DBD is used to check if the LSDB between 2 routers is the same. It is not full packet.
LSU’s are full packets.
Many Thanks!!!!!
Can you plzzz shed some light on OSPF Router ID … ? Is it the Router ID or OSPF ID?
As explained, Router ID is similar to IP address which is also 32-bit. It is elected as highest IP Address of active physical interfaces if loopback is not present. It can also be set manually but it will take effect when OSPF process is reset completely or device is reloaded. There should be only one router ID per device running OSPF to avoid database issues.
Good Post… liking it now.
