Hi All,
I need clarification on setting the Forwarding address set for type-5 LSA. As
per RFC 2328 it is not obviously mentioned anywhere that the forwarding address
can be set to connected, inter-area or intra-area routers but in the section
16.4 (Calculating AS external routes) it is mentioned that the forwarding
address can be set to inter-area or intra-area as well. Snippet from the RFC is
provided below for quick reference. Can you please confirm if the forwarding
address can be set to ospf connected, inter-area or intra-area route while
generating external LSA. Thanks.
**********************************
If the forwarding address is non-zero, look up the
forwarding address in the routing table.[24] The matching
routing table entry must specify an intra-area or inter-area
path; if no such path exists, do nothing with the LSA and
consider the next in the list.
******************************
Best Regards,
Radha
