Re: NSSA summarization

[sujay <[e-mail]>]

As there is now a single type-5 lsa to represent both the exact match as
well as all
the LS-id's falling under the summary-address range, in my opinion the
metric/path-type etc. 
should follow section 4.1(2).

Subject: NSSA summarization


Hi all,
I have some more queries in OSPF  - NSSA area.

Suppose I am summarizing type-7 LSAs.  In this case while generating 
type-5 lsa we follow section 4.1 of rfc 1587,

e.g.
1>  If none of the LSA's  LS-Id matches to my summary-address range but
LS-Id falls under configured summary address range, then we generate 
type-5 as per  rfc 1587 -section 4.1 (2)
and

2> If my LSA has LS-Id equal to summary address range then  we  generate
type-5 lsa as per rfc 1587 section-4.1(1)

Now my question is ,
What happens if ospf database has one LSA with LS-Id matches to my 
summary-address range and some LSAs with LS-Id falling under 
summary-address range.  Then in this case what type of metric or 
path-type we should set in the type-5 lsa?
Need your help,
Thanks,
with regards
ajay
