3.4. OSPF Link State Database
-- OSPF Link State Database
-- The Link State Database contains the Link State
-- Advertisements from throughout the areas that the
-- device is attached to.
ospfLsdbTable OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX SEQUENCE OF OspfLsdbEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The OSPF Process's Link State Database."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 12 Link State Adver-
tisements"
::= { ospf 4 }
ospfLsdbEntry OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OspfLsdbEntry
MAX-ACCESS not-accessible
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"A single Link State Advertisement."
INDEX { ospfLsdbAreaId, ospfLsdbType,
ospfLsdbLsid, ospfLsdbRouterId }
::= { ospfLsdbTable 1 }
OspfLsdbEntry ::=
SEQUENCE {
ospfLsdbAreaId

ospfLsdbAreaId OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX AreaID
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The 32 bit identifier of the Area from which
the LSA was received."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Appendix C.2 Area parameters"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 1 }
-- External Link State Advertisements are permitted
-- for backward compatibility, but should be displayed in
-- the ospfExtLsdbTable rather than here.
ospfLsdbType OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX INTEGER {
routerLink (1),
networkLink (2),
summaryLink (3),
asSummaryLink (4),
asExternalLink (5), -- but see ospfExtLsdbTable
multicastLink (6),
nssaExternalLink (7)
}
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The type of the link state advertisement.
Each link state type has a separate advertise-
ment format."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Appendix A.4.1 The Link State
Advertisement header"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 2 }
ospfLsdbLsid OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX IpAddress
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The Link State ID is an LS Type Specific field
containing either a Router ID or an IP Address;
it identifies the piece of the routing domain
that is being described by the advertisement."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 12.1.4 Link State ID"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 3 }
ospfLsdbRouterId OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX RouterID
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The 32 bit number that uniquely identifies the
originating router in the Autonomous System."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Appendix C.1 Global parameters"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 4 }
-- Note that the OSPF Sequence Number is a 32 bit signed
-- integer. It starts with the value '80000001'h,
-- or -'7FFFFFFF'h, and increments until '7FFFFFFF'h
-- Thus, a typical sequence number will be very negative.
ospfLsdbSequence OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The sequence number field is a signed 32-bit
integer. It is used to detect old and dupli-
cate link state advertisements. The space of
sequence numbers is linearly ordered. The
larger the sequence number the more recent the
advertisement."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 12.1.6 LS sequence
number"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 5 }
ospfLsdbAge OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32 -- Should be 0..MaxAge
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This field is the age of the link state adver-
tisement in seconds."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 12.1.1 LS age"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 6 }
ospfLsdbChecksum OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX Integer32
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"This field is the checksum of the complete
contents of the advertisement, excepting the
age field. The age field is excepted so that
an advertisement's age can be incremented
without updating the checksum. The checksum
used is the same that is used for ISO connec-
tionless datagrams; it is commonly referred to
as the Fletcher checksum."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 12.1.7 LS checksum"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 7 }
ospfLsdbAdvertisement OBJECT-TYPE
SYNTAX OCTET STRING (SIZE (1..65535))
MAX-ACCESS read-only
STATUS current
DESCRIPTION
"The entire Link State Advertisement, including
its header."
REFERENCE
"OSPF Version 2, Section 12 Link State Adver-
tisements"
::= { ospfLsdbEntry 8 }
