Hi What does the following sentence (section 3.4.3.7) in the RFC 2740 mean?
Router RTX examines its list of interfaces to the area. If the interface is in state Down, its prefixes are not included. If the interface has been reported in RTX's router-LSA as a Type 2 link description (link to transit network), its prefixes are not included (they will be included in the intra-area-prefix-LSA for the link instead). If the interface type is Point-to-MultiPoint, or the interface is in state Loopback, or the interface connects to a point-to-point link which has not been assigned a prefix, then the site-local and global scope IPv6 addresses associated with the interface (if any) are copied into the intra-area- prefix-LSA, setting the LA-bit in the PrefixOptions field, and setting the PrefixLength to 128 and the Metric to 0. Otherwise, the list of site-local and global prefixes configured in RTX for the link are copied into the intra-area-prefix-LSA by specifying the PrefixLength, PrefixOptions, and Address Prefix fields. The Metric field for each of these prefixes is set to the interface's output cost.
Considering the following example
RTA<serial 1>-------------------<serial1>RTB
Does it mean that RTA will advertise the prefix configured on serial 1 with LA bit set, iff there is no prefix configured on the serial1 of RTB?
Thanx and regards Prasanna |
